001all right you are on first item on our agenda is the Pledge of of the United States of America and to the for it stands okay I have a motion I'll make a motion to approve tonight second I'll second is there any objection okay the agenda is adopted do I have a motion to accept the consent agenda I move that we approve tonight's consent agenda okay is there a second I'll second is there any objection hearing none okay um at this point we're going to declare open our supplemental budget here okay you have been given for information purposes a copy of the annual financial report Marina would be here to make a report on it to all of us but she is ill and unable to join us um she has given me some information
002on this supplemental budget and I'll read it and then we can do a motion sorry I can't see that a resolution adopting a supplemental budget for f year 2024 and 2025 and making supplemental budget Appropriations origon local budget law allows the local government to prepare a supplemental budget when An Occurrence or condition that was not known at the time the budget was prepared requires a change in financial planning and that's ORS 29447 the governing body must adopt a resolution to adopt the supplemental budget and make any necessary Appropriations this resolution proposes a supplemental budget for the capital projects fund a significant amount of unexpected beginning fund balance has been identified which allows capital projects such as the blossom Gul renovation and Milner press move take place prior to the which allows them to take place
003prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year this allows for the board goal of expanding alternative education to begin sooner than anticipated and allow for the increased enrollment in the 2025 26 school year the supplemental budget is needed because these costs were not included in the original 2024 25 budget the supplemental budget increases the support services function allocation in the capital project fund from $ 54,9 167 to $1,149 167 and the facilities acquis acquisition facilities and acquisition allocation from 720,000 to 1, 320,000 for a total increase of 1.2 million okay that's the explanation okay and so we need a resolution adopting the supplemental budget be it resolved that the board of directors for kbit school district hereby adopts a supplemental budget for the fiscal year 2425 and the capital project fund uh so moved
004read the second one too all together here okay um also um in this motion is resolution making supplemental Appropriations be resolved that the supplemental amounts shown below are hereby appropriated year beginning July 1st 2024 as follows um don't think I need to read the whole thing right I think you referenced it yeah I referenced so that's that's on the floor we have a second is there any discussion again this money is just being moved around so that we can accomplish projects that we've got outstanding so uh I had just have a question this a little hard that Mar I but I'm just trying to wrap my rain around those numbers which they are big yeah and it's not sticking very well in my brain so um but so my understand is that basically this allocation
005is is we have extra funds available and we want to move it so that we can help accomplish the goals around basically the move with Administration to Blossom Gulch and some of the necessary things to get this ready and then the other funds to help address the needs at Milner Crest to get it ready ready as well for Serv and and the total amount of those expenditures is how much 1.2 no that's the total of the it's tiny up there it's tiny up there you have very good eyes I don't know about that but it is capital capital funds that it was a beginning balance the belt so I don't that's that's help thank you yeah we're not taking funds from somewhere else to but it's actually two funds right we we an extra million
006dollars one each of the two funds got 500 so we will have a total of 2 million David do you want to see this up close I can see it now I couldn't see it before I'm still again my brain takes a while to process this on the fly so that's why I just want to be clear so I guess I'm not following what Arie was saying though that I'm saying there's two funds all right one of them is 1.3 one 1.5 or 1.2 and 1.1 they're actually $2.3 million since they're available to spend one for yeah the capital project fund goes from 504 to 1.1 and the facilities and Acquisitions function goes from 720 to 13 and I think if you add those together you're G to come out with the 1.2 million about
007the increas million and the one million you're talking about is the extra money that was moved into those okay it's just the incre because we had already looked at the other funds we don't need to look at them so we're just looking at the increase in those for the capital F two is the amount of increase yeah in those two funds in those two funds yes together yeah the the other if I if I may the other project that that isn't in here is sunset yes so as we go through right we if money was an issue we would do everything for every school we can't so we have to prioritize and so our next priority and and member bsar has been in these conversations Sunset is a school that needs some investment in terms
008of the basics paint lighting carpet um their Library so that's another facilities project that's a priority yes we did the roof right um it's not we patch okay motion is on the floor to adopt resolution number 20251 which is a budget uh supplemental budget adoption we have a second can we have a second Y is there any further discussion no hearing none David hi Diane hi cim hi I vote I also motion passes moving right along mallerie y right so I'm gonna talk about all the major events in the last month of uh February so first off we have sports so our swim team went to State the girls uh achieved four and the guys got seven um boys wrestling had 12 wrestlers qualified for state and five of them became state placers Aran Wright

013week on Wednesday I think it was uh to go see kadaver which if you don't know is a dead body I chose not to go I was the one of the class that was not going um well actually two fix but uh so a lot of people enjoyed that I heard ran they saw the lungs inflate and deflate and they saw the heart obviously you want me to stop and no medicine in your future huh and then okay so if it's anything other than a person I'd be great we're dising cats I'm excited not people um April is career month and so they're having a career fair on the 18th and we also have a new fire science class which has seven people in it and if you and once you finish with said class
014you can earn a CER certification for Wild Land firefighting which is pretty pretty cool yeah and so that's pretty interesting but yeah no dead bodies yeah Mr miles came up and he goes all right who who wants to do it everybody Rose a hand and I was like yeah and he goes I know you don't want to do it B we saw this tube get stuck up at a sop guess we watched the whole video and it went down through into the stomach and I was like this the whole time like nope but everybody else said it was cool I feel yeah any have any questions for mallerie great great job thank you J good jobie okay we're on the cbea business that's mallerie you did a superb job thank I have a little slideshow
015D first I am going to first when DAV go to the next slide um member Spotlight for the month I have um Math teachers at marville Junior High were nominated for their wonderfulness whats wow I feel fancy thank you so much so a picture here is Erica Miller uh Willie guer and Andrew chice the three U Math teachers at the Junior High um and I can and I'll just read uh reasons why they were nominated the Math teachers at our junior high are doing a lot to encourage students in their success maker work they delivered roou floats to recognize growth last week and have featuring students at assemblies too um Mr Price took a group of seventh graders to Bandon for math counts and they won first and third or first through third and some
016students qualified first state um I I had a couple questions here that I I was hoping to get answered so I could add some info but that's what I got and um so I'm assuming success maker is was also started as a Sprint goal at the junior high as well yeah so I can just speak from experience it can be really challenging to get um students to get 60 Minutes a week and we have to pull out tricks you know to get there so and I can imagine it gets even harder at the junior time so um so they're doing some cool stuff to reward those kids that are showing growth and getting their 60 Minutes a week uh as recommended so Bravo to the three math te of the J Mr gerer is new
017this year um um and his wife is a teacher at mil great um oh okay so as promised last month we had elections I'm so excited to announce our results um our new president next year is gonna be Glenn cook from The High schol vice president will remain Tracy Kates Jen Winston is g to move into our secretary position and Diane handy will remain at our Treasurer role we have some new reps and some holes in our reps as well but lots of time to fill those those holes but Chris Green from the high school has stepped into will will step into now this doesn't happen until hopefully you notice that um till August 1 but um but we we have to do you know uh elections early uh so Jen Winston will remain the
018rep at the junior high we have a couple new reps at Sunset as well as an alternate um I am going to move into the role as build just a building rep at MoMA so I can um continue to help Glenn as needed but not take the position away from Tracy because that that didn't make sense to me uh Lauren Chan will remain the ref at east side and Mary Margaret ster at district office and Little Pirates uh we in April every year we go to oa's representative assembly and the four people that are going this April are Mary Margaret stalker Tracy Cas Diane Hy and myself and then the National Education Association representative assembly is actually going to be in Portland this year um and it's it's always the week of Fourth of July
019and Diane handy will beend oh nice so can't wait to hear about that and then it's multitasking thing um we keep doing plugs for negotiations committee and we're going to make some progress this month we're going to meet next Monday with you all or your team your negotiations team to um to discuss and bargain our norms for upcoming bargaining and I think um in April we'll be inviting all the rest so I'm looking forward to that uh we are you know committee work this is kind of I look at this slideshow is kind of um my communication with members as well and so bylaws work uh I wanted to mention because you may have noticed that our new president is the has the same last name as our SP director and um we we might
020need to look at that um so we're going to you know have some bylaws meetings just to discuss how we want to look at uh representing and supporting our sped members um that may may not want to go to their boss's husband and we just have to have a backup plan for this scenario so we'll talk about that this spring and um professional development committees we had started that in the fall and then we decided to wait until after calendar to get back and so I'm hoping to get back together soon that's all I have unless you have any questions Glenn realizes he needs to be up here doing this every month we're not gonna tell him anything people see like the most like he's GNA be doing a wonderful job I know he will
021no I I think he knows I think he knows just a little bit more on that we are G because I kind of forgot to mention this but um another thing change that we're going to look at making is rather than the president kind of takes over does just too many roles and it's it's just too much um let alone it's not representative enough you know um so our negotiations committee has been talked to about um after negotiations after we bring in a new contract they're going to be what is called like unless they changed the the acronym but contract I don't remember what it stands for but cat team um and they'll kind of be the ones looking at grievances if or or complaints um to see if we have problems you know um
022with the contract or upholding the contract so I think that will take a a large large chunk of the work off the plate of the president the president has standing alone do anybody have any questions before no thank you y David would this be appropriate now I'm it's at the end I have it board items y I can't hear things like that interest PE on what you guys are talking about even I just let you guys know that when I'm done talking tonight I'm gonna go ahead and join online to go H so today I believe this person is actually logged in online and if you have ever met her as she may never talk to me again for her having uh her nom allowed to make it to our board meeting uh but amarel
023is one of our secretaries at Madison and she was nominated by a here at the school and um it just says we would like to recognize amarel for her outstanding commitment to the Madison Community she's a true Cornerstone Cornerstone of our school always welcoming families and students with a warm smile and stepping up whenever help is needed whether it's supporting student Behavior covering recess Duty or assisting stuff I can tell you if you've ever been in the office with her you try and help out and answer a phone and she's already talking to her whoever it is at a time you even pick up the phone and seems to be like running back and forth and also assisting whoever needs help at the same time like multitasking is definitely one of her strong points uh
024recently when discussions arose about starting the food pantry at Madison Amaral took immediate action within a week she had mobilized the right people engaged with Community Partners and set everything into motion and thanks for efforts their new commercial refrigerators were delivered today which was when they were nominated so they have been delivered um making a huge step forward in supporting our families and not only that but she's actually met with um a group at destinations for students to help now go out into the community and ask for assistance in that and so she's not only taking the time at Madison but also reaching out to our students and incorporating them in this project and kind of teaching them some skills Amaral's dedication extends Beyond da responsibilities during our tsunami War she chose to stay behind
025to ensure that families would remain remain informed about safety and the whereabouts of their children even when she wasn't quite sure about her own safety in the moment Madison is a stronger more connected place because of individuals like moral and her leadership initiative and unwavering commitment to our students and families and our staff embody the best of our school community so if you guys see Amaral at Madison tell her tell her great job and um ask her not to tell me I love her name yes put her last name on because I cannot pronounce it very well so sorry Amel if you're online and listening I can spell it but I can not pronounce it very well so last week was classified appreci oh thanks DAV I thought I was controlling it with my computer
026it last week was classified ation week and we had decided that we kind of wanted to do something different and as a union to kind of celebrate staff and so we did a Squatch a SAS Squatch hunt um and if you're wondering how we got there the theme at OSA was the best in the west and so when you like look at Western ideas it's it's cowboy boots and cowboy hats and stuff we like yeah Pacific Northwest and we're on the west coast everybody knows about Bigfoot and so we had these signs hidden in all of our buildings and once you found it you sent out a picture to your fellow classified staff members and then I've entered you in for a drawing um and so we had this H at all of the schools
027and it was so exciting to like Reed those pictures and we were receiving them on like I had asked to send it to classified and I wish I would have actually said to everybody because it was so great and one of my classified staff members uh Moma pointed out to me today that she would love to see uh us get back into the routine as when we have a new hire that the union sends out an email with a photo because she said that there's people that she knows in the community but she had no idea we're working in our district and it was so neat to see who's in what building and so it it was fun and slightly successful and is also looking at ways of like how can we also like build
028that Community even though we're all have such different jobs in our different buildings um and so also a huge congratulations and uh TOA on his new position and thank you for you know all of the time and uh effort spent being on our board H but that does leave us a vice president veny which our current board is looking at on kind of how to kind of fill that fill that Gap that we have uh he was also on our negotiation team uh so just kind of looking at our language and so hopefully by next month I can let you guys all know what we have decided to do with my's current list we do have 146 classified staff members working for the cace school district and then I thought it might be fun to
029get the board involved for classified appreciation week and helping me with the raffle so we have a Bigfoot um puzzle and an Oregon cup as our priz one of our prizes and then um we have two Amazon gift cards so add through the chair I'll let you pull the firstes one and this is going to be for the Bigfoot Angie sailor yes she is at Marshall junor High perfect you want tode who gets to the next one to spread it around okay on down moving on down we'll let the women it's women Melissa green yes Junior hi this is a so that's for our gift card the folded one all oh okay it's just my name over there Terry Jo Terry so did did you you did all this right what do you mean the
030the Sasquatch did you put this together all I I was watching it go along and I thought this is the greatest idea and so fun and everybody seemed to really appreciate it and I've saw some of the emails come back and forth I think that's amazing and you need a kudos for doing this it was our board it was our Union board we got together and we're talking about you know how we want to celebrate and how to get more people involved and kind of play games and it's a little tricky because you've got you know so many different different schools in there so okay sleep say but kudos to you and your board that's right and thank you for doing this they're so lucky to have you and your team um and didn't person
031right okay good deal are you out there just doing everything you're just no you're a superstar thanks you know I always tell people you're only allowed to look like a superstar because you got a really good team behind you so do anybody else have questions for breef Ary oh we negotiate on Thursday we're we're up and running so that our first we did our ground rules and up and running on Thursdays from 1 to 4 and it is going to be the negotiation so if any of you guys want to okay come in and now you know is classified appreciation week and everybody used their words and show so much appreciation and now our actions can match so that appreciation so yes we appreciate classified okay we're at Dr a yeah superintendent's report as I
032was listening to mallerie I kept thinking I should just give her my report she would do a great job yeah yeah super she's superintendent in training um yeah so we'll we'll jump into my report again uh mission statement board goals uh new topic calendar we have on the last board meeting as a discussion item we need to look at ratifying the calendar Blossom gch move midyear report uh funding update more from from the state level versus um the district level and then end with good things um David if you could pass those down uh again uh the the mission statement I I like to keep this front and center and make sure we're we're viewing it we we go over this in our in our Adent meetings we talk about it I A lot of
033times you'll see mission statements and they just live on the wall right or they live they live in a on a on a pamphlet they live in a booklet um it it's aspirational it's ambitious uh we want all of them to graduate 100% you don't really want to be in a position you say well 85% of them don't graduate 85% graduate 15% don't who are the 15% so it's it's an aspirational goal one of the words they're all important words but I think one of the words that's that's critical is the needs and I believe our our system our culture is is getting better it adapting to those needs in real time it's really important that we're meeting the needs in real time if a student is struggling in math how do we meet that
034need if it's attendance if it's reading if it's behavior and not to get too deep into the ntss system that could be a whole another board meeting but really that's the intent of mtss and that predates that pre predates Justin aor the elementary schools were have been doing that for several years and I I believe um they're a little bit ahead of our secondary schools in mtss which is the case in most districts but really it comes down to them trying to meet those needs in real time board goals just a just a quick review raise the academic expectations uh we we are doing that uh we have lots of conversations there's lots of really really good work going on uh in terms of what what are the what are the mechanics to do that
035it's it's it's not necessarily a secret right there are very tangible concrete things you can do to increase the AC academic expectations you've heard me say our kids in KZ Bay are as smart as any other kids in the country our kids deserve as much opportunity as much access they have as much talent and as much potential is any other school district it's us adults believing that our kids can do it uh report progress on goals and established Data Systems I feel like we're we're doing that really well at the admin level I think our elementary teachers do a good job of looking at data sometimes it's easier for them because their data is a little more live in terms of diagnostic investigate and establish needs for additional programs that's the one of the four
036I I feel like we're a little bit behind on because it is additional programs is a is a budget item it's a negotiations item and I G need a lot of stakeholder input to figure out what the board and the community want in terms of additional programs and the last one really is reflected in one of the reasons we're moving to Blossom gch it would be much easier for us to stay at Milner Crest Milner Crest is a nice facility but if we're going to expand alternative education destinations Little Pirates um online learning we need space and I don't think the community has the appetite for us to cross on to build a new school right now or to put kids here or to put kids yes thank you to put kids here right I
037don't think the Optics would be great if there was a tsunami or catastrophic event adults can get out faster than kids so uh just quick review of board goals goals of the calendar I'll I'll I'm gonna pivot here and we do have uh Michelle Barton our director of HR online and she can help with some questions but I think before we get into the calendar I want to thank the I want to thank the committee and the group The stakeholders that worked with uh Michelle Barton and Becky was a part of that and I believe Bri was a part of that that feedback process we went into it with these four goals how do we maximize instructional time let's re-evaluate the week off for Thanksgiving break um I was not a big fan of early
038release Thursdays when we didn't have school on Fridays uh I I I I felt pretty strongly that needed to be a full day of school and then the the time on Friday is really important for our teachers and our staff to collaborate um and Bri mentioned that or no Becky mentioned that with the Math teachers at Marshville Junior High I was at their PLC last Friday and they were doing a great job and they were trying to figure out they were looking at their scope and sequence and their standards and they were digging in and they were talking about interventions we need these kids to go there and these kids to go there and I'll take these kids are struggling with order of operations I'll take those kids that doesn't happen if we don't have
039that time it's really important for teachers to get together and talk to people in their department and their grade levels so so they can strategize and so those are the four goals going into the the calendar here's how the days are divided up um 190 contract days 173 full instructional days Oregon is if you compare us to other states we are we do have a short year um there's lots of conversation at the state level about Oregon student achievement to be honest it's part of the reason we're we're two weeks shorter than most States so there's less instructional time if you look at the days there's more days in the first quarter that's intentional the beginning of the school year is one of the hardest parts of the school year for staff and teachers they've
040got to get kids prepared and or organized and getting the routines and the procedure so you need a few more days so it's not perfectly balanced in terms of days but um have 4843 42 and 40 and those quarters there's the calendar it is in it is in the board post we've um we've sent it out we're at the point where we're ready to ratify it the other thing that we really wanted to achieve is predictability for parents and I'm I'm really proud of September and October if you look at September and October there's not a lot of colors there's a lot of full weeks there where kids are in school right and that's not always possible in every month and the other thing that we have to be cognizant of we're still recovering from
041covid right more instructional time is better than less instructional time so I'll leave we'll have a few minutes for questions here at the end pivot to Blossom gch move I I jumped ahead um I believe the last board meeting I gave you guys a a uh kind of a project a scope of work uh since that meeting um a member our our chair had asked for a cost breakdown I'm going to go over that we weren't ready at that time but it talks about the reason the the scope of work and the Milestones I know this is really hard to read but just to situate yourself um the top part that is that that Corridor on top that is that part of the building so that is the south end of the building so district
042office staff primarily will be will be will move into that hallway and so we've already started that process and who's going to what rooms obviously there's lighting there's flooring there's painting to be honest probably a lot of the rooms will look like this room in terms of of carpet and paint there are some we met with our it team there's some significant it work that needs to be done this is this is an old building and then that side of the building the north side I believe Bri actually has a class there so there'll be some space there we'll have to decide what we're going to do with that later that is in terms of your guys's goals that that could be space for additional Pro programming again I I won't get into all the
043detail here but here's the cost break break down if you look at the bottom right hand corner we're looking at about $255,000 in terms of moving down here obviously that that number can be fluid you guys know how construction is our timeline we went through A needs assessment we are currently in the renovation and preparation stage and then the cost sheets and bids still LMA is doing a great job of of acquiring bids transitioning and really the move will start at the end of the school year and then we have to start talking about Milner Crest if that's going to be an alter education center it needs to look like a school right right now it looks like a diser office it needs to look like a school um and then a year or two
044depending on capital projects and funding what happens to that that end of the building transitioning midyear report I will not go through the entire midyear report I this is going to be this this is riveting reading for you guys and sit down home before you go to bed lots of data and numbers and strategic plans I thought I would just pull a couple highlights out of out of the midyear report I will also produce an end year report uh in June but a couple things that we're proud of there's still lot lots of red as David has pointed out I like that he keeps us accountable but um if you look at East side this is Dibbles so this is literacy this is reading if you look at east side of Madison our kids come
045in pretty low red means they're not a great level in terms of of reading and if you look at the second red bar there's a dramatic reduction in the red and the green is growing that's good so there's there's lots of and I and I could go I go first grade and second grade there's there's pretty good um there's things to highlight in all those grade levels but that's that is definitely an area that we're excited about math Becky pointed out our math again just in general terms that's K5 so we had our beginning of the year now we have our mid year and if you look at that top Circle lots of red I can't read those numbers from here I think it's in the 50s that red is reducing that green is growing
046that's K5 so in general terms that means more of our kids in elementary school are getting to grade level proficiency that is really really important and I'm going to connect the dots we've talked a lot about in this group and with principles the important of of algebra one Readiness Algebra 1 is a gatekeeper it's critical that by the time our kids get to ninth grade they are ready for Algebra 1 so they have access to upper level math courses and they can stay out of uh remediation I am really optimistic in the work that is happening at the elementary level that over time more kids in eth grade are going to be ready for algebra one I and I've set a pretty ambitious goal some people have bled at I think we need to have
04740 to 50% of rth graders on every one and and we're actually I think we're at 20% there's there's there's really good growth there this is sixth to eth grade math achievement with savis you see lots of red at the beginning of the year and now that red is reducing and and and Becky is right that 60 Minutes can be challenging to squeeze all that in we say if we can get to 60 minutes that'd be awesome there's actually a Tipping Point if you can go too far right I mean I've always said that technology has a purpose we don't ever want to get away from technology because it can do some things it can make our lives easier but I don't want kids in front of Chromebooks all day either right so there there's
048a Tipping Point a good growth R FS this is a leading indicator this is something we track Prince lash is in the room we talk about this weekly this is really really important at the high school level kids have to pass classes and they have to graduate we're excited because most of our grade levels are below the 10% threshold i' like it to be lower um but most of them are that's kind of industry standards best practices we are concerned about our 10th graders at the end of S1 uh 12 and a half percent let's just call it 133% if I'm going to round head an half in 10th Grade that ninth gr ninth grade is huge if you for every F and ninth grade is a 10% reduction and graduating on time there's a
049leading indicator we track really proud of our 12th graders that's that's good work there's some good interventions happening there AP course enrollment it's trending in the right direction growth since last year the national average for one class is 35% the state average is 15 KZ Bay is 21% so we're starting to get closer to the national average in terms of AP enrollment preac leading indicator really proud of this 89th you guys look they use different colors but we want to be in the purple on target act leading indicator you look at the very end of that horizontal bar 13 in need of intervention for for English so something's working right in that area in that domain and I want to be really clear that's not just a height a secondary thing those are elementary teachers
050they deserve credit for this in terms of in terms of reading and literacy ACT results for 10th graders again so three grades that's a trend that's really important in data when you look at a trend 8th 9th and 10th grade we are strong in uh Readiness in English at the college level so that's a highlight this and this is a lot of information here but for a student I wanted that I'm giving you macro I wanted to get you the student level this is what a students act would look like we're really trying that left number is composite we really want to get our kids above 19 because that means what what that means is if your composite score is 19 2021 when you enter swap Oregon State Southern Oregon University George Fox you're ready
051for college classes that's why that number is so important you don't need to take remediation so 1920 is the magic number if you're in the 30s we're probably trying to get you to Stanford or Cornell or the University of Chicago right we have kids here we're going to score that high the stem is a combination of math and science that's a new component with with act shifting gears um we shared this this article with you I don't I don't want to get political I but I do think it's important as a board you guys do a good job of that what is happening at the state level right what what way are the winds blowing we track all the time the funding and the conversations I have a weekly superintendent meeting and we hear we
052hear all the time 11 . 36 billion is what we we think we're going to land Governor to kotek it was an 11% increase previously what she is saying right now is we're not we're probably not going to increase education funding now here's what's positive we all want more money but here's what's positive the accountability model that the state is talking about I believe that we are positioned really well in our district if the State moves forward with the accountability model because the things that they're talking about third grade reading e8th grade math ontime graduation ninth grade Readiness we're doing we were actually doing it prior to the state what's what's concerning is that their accountability model and I'll and I'll tell you I have no appetite to be on the list I have zero
053appetite we love our friends at the Department of Education I don't want to be on the list because being on the list means you're going to get interventions right and the first the first year is a coaching model the second year is intensive and they're going to start directing some of your funding so it's really important that we continue to demonstrate growth and proficiency um there she's actually talking about the Department of Education revamping it and it's not just about reports and compliance she wants the Department of Education in District supporting and coaching we want their help I just don't want intensive help from the Department of Education so just I think it's important to to follow the conversation that is happening at that level they are optimistic sh about special education funding 15% to
054the cap that's exciting because we've been underfunded and sped more money to early literacy and summer school recovering from Co okay good things as I wrap it up you guys all of you have done a great job uh celebrating our classified staff I can say for my time in a building I actually would sometimes go to the classified Staff first because they always seem to know what was happening before anybody else right sometimes they kind of had a pulse on our kids and I would go to them as an assistant principal principal hey what's What's happen happening here and they're just a they're such an important part of what we do in our team and I could highlight a bunch of people um but I think about I I spend some time with Bri and
055she's not here but she's amazing I mean she just is kid Centric and thinking about what can we do for kids and how can we help and just an a awesome teammate and then LMA is just he's great he's a hard worker he's he's a servant leader uh he's a team player and then Nora I don't work with her as much but I see her when I go to Madison and she's always got a smile and as Brie said she's just she's just multitasking all the time it's it's unbelievable and I must be getting old because I had her son or not her son her husband has student and an athlete when I was at har so getting they're getting old um our principles I asked them to do some testimonies of and and obviously
056there's there's lots there but they're they they're all just super supportive and and proud of the work of our classified people and the things they provide to our kids other good things there was there's a lot of sports in this in this good things uh the three basketball tournament was here and they did a great job if you if you didn't get a chance the state championship games it felt like it was kind of old America the gym was it was packed um and I always and I'm sure there's some data out there I'm always curious on what the economic impact of those tournaments are to our community in terms of hotels and food and shopping and then the thing you can't quantify the people come here for the first time to kous Bay and
057they come back right and so just really proud of the work that um not just Marshfield there's lots of people that help put that tournament on and then Ed mallerie mentioned this the girls won the skym conference Championship that was um awesome for them they they had a great season unfortunately lost in the first round to to Banks out of Eastern Oregon the boys W lots of winning lots of winning is happening at Marshfield High School what a surprise um they won the conference as well and now they're going to the state tournament they I think they're number two in the state the wrestling team won the conference Championship and a number of those wrestlers are going to State Oh I thought I had one more here oh and I don't have it on here
058but battle the books is um happened at milom and I took part in that and I quickly wanted to know how many kids what school had the most and Marshville Junior High had the highest number of kids participating in battle of the books so lots of lots of really good things happening questions David do you have any questions um I don't think [Music] so um yeah so we were talking about um our our instruction days and how low they are comparatively Across the Nation I don't remember what the numbers were 173 and so 190 was the average is that that 190 is the total contract days okay so what is the average that how low are yeah gosh that's a great question it's a moving Target I want to say it's in the upper um
059upper 70s low 80s I think it's 180 I think it's 180 180 is generally the number that I've heard bandied about for years I think you're right so 180 the instruction days not necessarily the contract days were about four days what did you say 170 or 173 173 sorry so many numbers and so do you have any data on the correlation I mean OB I would say Obviously um correlation between instruction days and higher um you know increased uh scores and achievement but do you have data on that and what those you know seven days you know yeah across the state and I'm sure there's other um you know variables that go into that because obviously different states have different regulations and yeah School Texas is way different yeah very different yeah I I don't
060have any off the tip of my tongue but I you know as someone who is immersed in education generally speaking the more time kids are in school and in class you're going to have improved outcomes oh I I I agree with that it's just really great to have you know you know the studies you know shown this and then and then I think a lot of the data comes from the fact that that's what most schools are doing are doing increased they're increasing their like if if 180 is the average that's because most schools are doing 180 right and and so they're not going to pay the extra money through contra if it's not giving them a result yeah I'm just wondering you know that's a it seems like that's a stopping point for us
061I mean I'm I I like the idea of you're around school because I think that when you're out of school for that long I mean I'm just looking at other countries data but how do we get there in Oregon I mean that's it's at a different level well it is I mean it's a local it's a local decision but it would be it would be against the norm in the state right right and you're not going to change that I mean I Arizona is a state that does year round with more intermittent breaks I mean yeah and I'm not saying it needs to be year round but I think obviously I think we do need more instruction days I don't know that seems beyond our scope if the state doesn't do something about it yeah
062yeah yeah I think it would be bigger than just just yes yeah okay um let me see if I have any others I do but it'll come I'm good I have a question and it came up I was at the site meeting in dibles meeting today at Madison and we were talking about is it possible to track a co-host of kids from kindergarten through graduation oh yeah yeah and have we done that uh I don't believe we have um you can do it part of it is the resources you know I have said this we don't we don't have a data team here like a lot of districts have a data Department right so they'll have a couple people that's what they do and so when principle a says hey I need data they're they're
063running it the board's requesting data they're running it um we we don't we look at it all the time but not in that kind of cohort model longitudinally but but grade levels we absolutely look at grade levels but I don't are you talking about a specific group of kids just talking about how it' be interesting to know how kbay education is affecting each group of kids as they go up and is there a place where they're falling down all the time yeah um as we track them through is there a real Pitfall we're finding um it just was a it's a great conversation yeah this this goes back to math sixth grade is critical for math so that's an area that our kids will get stuck because it goes from it goes from concrete to
064abstract and so they've got to have a strong mathematical base and in sixth grade well we it came about because we were looking at the numbers and you can see how kids are doing better middle of the year than they were at the end of the year yeah and then we then we started extrapolating well are they doing is each class are the first graders doing better at the beginning of the year than the kindergarten did are the second graders learning enough that they're doing better at the beginning of the year and we saw it just in that kindergarten for a second it would just be interesting to see further up yeah yeah I actually have a question too if I could um she's the boss know I skipped my round R turn but because
065I wasn't ready but um in some of these grows I was just curious um High need student population it says we have a 48% of students experienc poverty requiring more wraparound support So in comparison do you know where we are as far as like state level districtwide with other districts like I just feel like that we have a significant amount here and how do we kind of face some of those um challenges but still meet you know some of these numbers because it's it is sometimes difficult with having that population and then also the 18% of students having disabilities do you know where we compared to other districts I don't know about I don't know I can't I don't know the comparison of IEPs Kayla's here I could put her on the spot but um
066I'll hold off um the the poverty I was given a a book when I got here that was produced by I want to say Oregon State I got you gave me one and somebody else gave me one and when I would look through it I believe cous county has the is the has the third highest poverty rate in the State don't quote me on that it's it's really it we're not number one though it's a county in eastern Oregon I believe is number one but we're really high yeah they they come up with staff pretty regularly about the poverty rates I can't recall but it's I want to say it's around 20% based on the federal poty 18 and a half 20% something like that and and it's it's not the highest but we are
067on the we high and on rate of disability to we we're up near the higher end of raise of disability because that's that also they put the cap at 20% Department of Education for Disabilities so yeah there's a lot of uh Health markers that that are relevant to our community yeah it just seems like those numbers would create significant challenges for us here and not as any means to an excuse or or for striving for something better we always have to keep moving forward it can be difficult when students are trying to meet basic needs um sometimes school doesn't sit up there top of the priority yeah 100% and I say we're we're the answer right yeah for for those kids and inquires um I've worked I've worked in affluent schools and I've worked in
068schools with high poverty and I can tell you both of them have challenges right but in some levels in communities like this you you do have to be better right because you know you've heard me say it the kids who need the most deserve the best thank you any other questions thank you okay three of Representatives thank all right um so we're with uh the marsh High School Trio um I'm Serenity um I'm I'm actually a senior I don't know why it's is 11th grade and I'm one of the Upward Bound ambassadors I'm suffers I'm also not in 11th grade I 10th grade and I'm also one of the upper bassadors yeah you guys didn't know we weren going to let you go wasn't able to is she 11 yeah she um so just a
069little bit of background first um so the trio program was started in uh 1964 as a part of President lyen Johnson's uh war on poverty and uh part of The Economic Opportunity Act um and it was uh well the first the first trio program started was upward B which was for the exceptionally talented exceptionally needy students um in 1965 uh they added on educational Talent search which was the second Tri of program um in 1965 it was serving the offic ofation it was serving over 50,000 students um 1968 they added on another program uh student support services and that completed the trio there uh there are now seven Trio programs um 1980 um Trio programs and roll first generation college students like myself and you too yes you to um and then last year Trio
070celebrated uh their 60th yeah 60th year anniversary um so on the same note as the uh like the PO right here um Trio programs um like the one at um like the ones in this District are super important for students like that um they identify and assist uh students who um are uh one of the one of the um requirements is that uh they like have higher financial needs I guess um and Trio support students from um to help them graduate high school and continue on to postsecondary education uh yeah lowincome families or first generation college students um and Trio has a bunch of different programs um they they help out with uh like the college tour field trips and um career explor exploration um helping with uh college applications and and scholarships and financial
071aid which was super important personally for me um because just with applications it's so expensive to even just apply anywhere and I would not have been able to apply to as many colleges um they they're very helpful with that sort of stuff uh workshops for skill development development mentorship leadership opportunities like uh being a trio Ambassador because that was um that's a separate part of the program I guess um and Alexis and I have done a bunch of different um workshops and sort of things to help um with our leadership uh skills there and then um also with SAT and ACT prep um academic support and free 247 online tutoring I guess which was also very helpful um I did one of the um SAT prep things and I managed to get a400 nice y
072y um so we have a couple of Trio programs in uh the Cruz Bay School District we have the Marshfield Junior High uh Boma Sunset Marshfield High School uh Talent search and then Marshfield High School Upward Bound which uh the difference between Upward Bound and challeng search there is that Upward Bound students have to be U first generation and uh the talent search students do not have Okay um Talent search Yeah so basically the eligibility for this for talent search is um just being a US citizen or having a permanent resident status um potential first generation college student and meets the lwi income eligibility guidelines there and then I've already talked about the services there so um for Upward Bound as well we're in Upward Bound and it's over am experience it's uh ferally funded
073and um it's for lwi income um and first generation students like ourselves and um they have some different Services set different from Talent search such as you know Summer Academy yeah oops and um overall Upward Bound is um is aiming towards sending low-income students to colleges and getting scholarships as well and they're they fund everything everything is free to the students and we also uh receive cams semesterly or quarterly stiens as well it's quarterly quarterly yeah quarterly stiens that for getting good grades and just for checking in to Trio up around it's yeah it's very helpful um oh yeah the outcomes of talent search we have 98% um academic persistence where students they complete their classes and they move on to the next level um 91% graduation rate um they graduated on time with a
074regular diploma and bit lower here we have a 66% rigorous curriculum they graduated on time with a diploma it took at least one successful year of World Language um then lower 64% College enrollments they the students enrolled in a degree Pro program and they got accepted for federal financial aid and good and I know it's blocked a little I think that says 183 students just at just at um just at Marshville High School are in Talent search and they they have plenty of Trio programs all over and colleges as well yeah um the outcomes of upper B you can see 400s there um academic persistance graduation rate rigorous Cur curriculum and college enrollment as well but there are less students since it is specifically for lowincome students first generation first generation yes sorry but great
075rates there yeah who's the guy with the eyebrows oh that is is very amazing and your schol I check in with him every week yeah tell all about the opportunities and great shout out to him thank you your laptop program uh yeah so that's I don't know too much about it but uh yeah it's a I think that this year is it is it just up B students that do no it's okay so it's all them um basically just trying to get um I think this year he said he was trying to get all the senior laptops so a free laptop there to you know help with the college success and that sort of thing um yeah which is actually really cool I mean Trio just does so many so many things and it liter
076it doesn't cost students anything which I think is really really important um because postsecondary education like getting into colleges and stuff is just extremely extremely expensive and especially for our um for our community there's it's it's hard for students here to you know be able to get the support that they need both financially and um academically so the trio programs really really help um all sorts of students any questions or do you w to talk about our experiences some more we got the chance to go to New York we went toor and toured a bunch of uh colleges over there it was PR cool it was really cool actually yeah that was would you go to college in New York I considered it um I ended up going with uo instead just to be near
077family but I definitely considered it and it it felt like a possibility just being able to go onto a campus and like see it in person because you know you think of like one of the ones we went to was uh Columbia University and so that just seemed so far away like impossible for somebody here to go on to but you know when I was on that campus it felt it felt like it was possible they were very welcoming and they they explained plenty about their campuses yeah it was it was really fun um the Summer Academy thing is uh really really cool as well um I know that last year they had um incoming or yeah like the incoming seniors or whatever um they got to stay in dorms on the SWAT campus get
078get more experience with that sort of thing too and um you also received a stien for that yeah a stien for that as well so it's like it's not only like help helping students you know have the opportunity to you know be able to like have access to these sort of things it's also just like encouraging them through [Laughter] money is very good yeah yes um and the quarterly stiens uh it's not just for like the super like smart 4.0 students it's um it's three different things that uh it's participation um uh like grades like AB whatever that um and then also just like having your GPA go up or stay in place also additional money there so it's not it's not um it's it helps all students you don't have to be like super
079super smart you just have to be um I guess motivated and yeah I have a question Justin is funding for the trio program come through our budget I don't I don't think so I think it's primarily all federal fundr SW yes it's Federal program funded through through swap yeah I'm afraid of that F program that's I'm just sitting here my heart is dropping it's listening to how good this is and how it go away yeah what I find really is my junior year in high school um my major project that I had to write was on The Economic Opportunity Act 1964 so it's been fun to watch the 60 years of stuff that's gone on with it and it has um it has improved I mean when I first came out was Bare Bones but
080it was it was really an interesting I come from a town for Angeles which is a lot like here it was it was a really encouraging thing for kids at that time to start thinking about how they could get to College because like here they didn't get out a lot I mean you didn't go back to New York and get see those schol it's pretty exciting that they do what they do it's been fun my career here to support the so it's a great we hope we won't lose it yeah I agree that's a really big important thing I think it is funded through yeah running start is a different one Washington has a running start we don't have one but running was Comm colle it's a really good program Washington so now are you
081an employee of the school district or SW SW SW so then how did you is it there an advisor or some kind of person here at the school district to hook you up yeah right here so so you just work they paid by swock but you I'm stationed at yeah nice find me m 133 go back to the counseling office you'll see a sign that says and then what about North Bend yeah did they have a program they do have a program they've got both Marshfield and North Bend both programs in them upward so do you have do you have an office over there or is there another person no it's other people over there okay okay well I am so proud of you I just met you and this is amazing what a wonderful
082opportunity and so you didn't do the six week piece I've done it in years before I just wasn't able to do it the past year but um but when I did it it was really fil and so was the New York was that two weeks in New York or was yeah it was like two weeks yeah it was it was in December yeah two weeks wasn't week it was one it was one week probably felt like two so then I saw up here how to support what what kind of support did you guys need if you could go back one slide or maybe yeah there it is if you like to support this program what are we talking about money donating laptops what are we what are we looking at I'm sorry what was the
083question the question is um we have a a call out for support from deian veritech so I just was wondering what kind of support do they need um she's she's looking for grant money to to do this and I believe that yes that's phone number two um You can call the trio swap or excuse me Trio upper bound office at swalk and they'll be able to give you all the information you need um I do have business one of the other programs that they talked about there was that in your senior year you go they'll pay for two courses are you planning and paying some of those that's Southwestern right yeah yeah not sure not sure about it she just wants to finish the year I think I'm gonna do two years of SW after
084school before head to hopefully OSU OSU we got youo and O have you guys thought about what you're GNA major in um I'm going to be an English major with a minor in like Communications or marketing I want to do like advertising so but specifically like the writing part really the copy writing great I want to major in veterinary sciences why I want to go to U I haven't thought of but there's time true so you guys come back here we hire as an English teacher and a veterinarian yes works for attorneys in New York lives in Los Angeles wrs for them all the time so writing is a skill that is transferable to lots to Lots yeah that's why that's why I decided English Major versus just fully go in marketing or something yeah
085animal I think that makes perfect sense thank you very much absolutely great presentation and there are two staff swap staff members at the high school two there are two one of two at the in the trio program oh perfect so they don't make you do it all no how many kids in the program 183 right well in the talis's um program in my program is 27 you're in uper yes J Watson she's thank you thank you okay we're up to our community center proposal look at all you okay thank you for having me back and you guys presented some questions that I would like to answer um so uh the first question was about who's going to own the community center and that will be a trust it will be a 50163 trust it will
086be the Cru Community Center that will be created um the second question was how will we be soliciting participation and how we treat individuals organizations to have access to our community center well it everybody we have for some areas and uh like court and space that will have an online uh system for scheduling and then we'll promote it in different ways social media newslet we have a maer we have a of TVs will have probably 100 by June and they're all over from l City to brings most of them are in nor so we have a the network to promote it and we have a community app and a website now the management and operations structured the community center so it will be all based on volunteers but I think because it's a large project
087we might have a stu person we're considering at the beginning we were not because everything that we do up to dat it's all based on volunteers so uh when Co happened and we didn't have access to facilities like the schools uh we rented a place at the mall in probably five years and since then we've been learning things right now it's all volunteer base you know so we're trying to base on what we do and what the school does to and I'll get to that in the next question um you also asked about uh um who who will make the decision so we'll have two board the trust itself will have its own board composed of six people and then we'll invite everybody in the community uh belong to an organization a sport activity to
088be part of a larger board which will call the active leaders of the sports and activities board uh how the state will be allocated well some groups can have a more permanent room you know and some will be gu for meetings like or Bo Scout but if we do something like culinary you'll probably have more permanence than the other you also decide who decid and the board the leaders of the board so it will be all democratically and participations of everybody involved in this organization uh when it comes you also ask about if we will deny the space to somebody well we'll have the same system that the school does you know like uh the high school we all have in Season Sports offseason Sports of the high school and other organizations you know so
089uh we want to reach out to everyone but if a facility is scheduled for usage they going have to wait so we will not deny but I'm sure there will be some conf like we all face we uh lack of spaces lack of facilities so that's a problem that we and we're going to help all uh the funding for the center and also the funding for the long-term maintenance of the project so the trust will take care of the center they'll pay for everything they'll be in a trust and also for the ongoing you know some of the expenses will be also by by the trust uh we talk about Chapel no we're not going to have a chapel that no um now listening to the school district moving here how can we work together
090how uh uh would they make this work well and it's pretty simple for me this is your building you know you you take what you need and then you tell us hey we have this space available for you and we'll use what you give us but we also more interested on building uh the multisport facilities in the back you know improve the areas and build something so those were all the questions uh pretty simple uh in my head is you guys have the land uh I have a friend that has the funds he's willing to pay for everything uh he will improve our community it will create great opportunities for everybody uh I've been experienc uh at the mall that uh where we have our community little Community Center compared to this and we already
091tou so many so many people we have people that came here from L Community College P Community College Corban to play us you know to play at clamas Community College we have kids in the month of February they came twice from person City and brutin just to do sports with us uh we just added two pickable courts and we uh added three virtual uh they're like virtual games that kids get to interact with the worldall it'll be like two times two and they have to go and tou the balloon with the number four you know so it's educational an activity is what we're want to do you know um so we had a lot of people involved we worked with many organizations already you know the bo SC they've been there who been there uh
092we're going to partner up with the Chamber of Commerce they're going to have they're bringing the home show back to the mall and we're partner it up so we're going to have the kids on so what we're doing now that is working for a community at a bigger scale would be that opportunity that you guys can support us know so that's uh pretty pretty simple I don't know if you guys have more questions uh I also want to share that a month ago you guys called me out say you want to come back it was a day before your meeting so I say no you know I want to get ready but at the same time since I hav't heard from you guys I also approach the nor School Board I want to be transparent
093I met with superintendent I met with the president of board assistant and we were talking about O Street and they're very very interested they were all welcoming and very supportive and that would be Plan B and they know and I told that I was coming back here also you know and they know that and they're very understanding too I also talk to Mayor Benet because the city was looking for S land that at this time they don't have any you know that he's very supportive with and a lot of people a lot of organization that I've been talking to are very supportive and they see the need of this also Builders I talk to Tom Harmon I talk to V sou Forest they're they're ready they're ready to help they're ready to make something happen
094in our community to improve the quality of these activities and Sport for okay AR so how big how big it's going to be probably the size of a soccer field okay yeah and we have two options a d option and just a metal building which I just learned that the metal building is almost half the price so the would have been cheaper you know but it's not just that we also want to improve like the basketball court that you guys have there for the better floor we be probably tennis courts that you know me and just keep expanding like like I say with what we've been learning at the mall with our complex now there was the need to Pi and you'll see have the first tournament mom kid and most of them are uh
095Marshal parents that are gonna play with the kids in this tournament in April 5th you know so they're coming and practicing and people from band are coming so it's a lot of new things coming up do you have any questions oh okay uh yes I do so we talked about the Dennis ethm trust that would be overseeing um you know this project and there's six board members I was wanting to know how are the those board me Members appointed are they elected are they not theyed so one permanent member from the be family and that was on the first protocal one permanent member from the LMA family and four from the community I think we should make it official that we would like to have one member from the school district I think that I
096think we need to work together make sure that I mean we're open to that we'll like that I don't know who will do do that we don't want to say you have to send one but and so then so and the other three will will be appointed okay so appoint Not Elected but appointed yeah appointed yeah okay but we want to have diversity we want to have somebody from just activi somebody from education somebody from sport you know for three years period so who points the remaining board members would it be that be them permanent person and the school and the school board member okay I haven't discussed Den yet but I think I would like to have the school district permanent also so we always have a representative from the school that make sense
097and then you mentioned Oak Street over there is a possibility um would that be like in the same space as the new softball fields that next to it so they still have close to four or to five acres or can of like a soccer field is okay like like over some away from the Head Start building yeah on the other side okay yeah yeah yeah we need right now to me we have a window where Den is willing to help us with money and either not you guys have the land so to me it makes sense that we need to work together you know have a good partnership it doesn't make sense not to move forward so then one last question but it kind of goes um I think it goes back this way because
098I remember that David actually had a question about what the process was when we have school property lands um you know is there a process that we need to go through I mean we talked about you know how does that work and what are the parameters around that is it just first come first serve somebody comes in with a plan and they say yeah I'm being factious but yeah yeah what what is that process that was my concern just regardless to the proposal I wanted to understand the the district's legal requirements exactly around this I I guess that would be my initial questions is really not for Ellen or the beams but more from the district perspective and from our our legal people what what processes should we be following what are we required to
099do I mean we're a we're a governmental entity I know from my work there is a process you have to go through that talks about fairness and equalness in terms of how you do things so that those are my those are be my questions is you before I felt comfortable proceeding yay or nay I'd want to understand legally what is the process that we have to have to follow I normally you know it's a little bit different because lot of times if you want something you put out a RFP and people resp respond to it and you have a public process for vetting it it's a little bit different than having somebody come to you and say hey we want to try to put this together but I think I would be interested from a
100legal perspective what would what would what should be our legal response to that do we say yeah that's fine or do we say no you have to there's some other things that we have do we have to out publicly saying and is it a little easier to turn over because it's going to be a nonprofit or if it's not like yeah I get you're saying I don't I've never seen a distinction in the governmental whether you're with a nonprofit or a a for-profit I mean in terms of the equalness about how you're supposed to handle it but I guess that's what makes me uncomfortable I I don't think I could say much until I I really understand you know yeah what is it obligations I just know that I in in in my work if
101we did something that didn't follow the process in a public body we would have problems as the board the community people that vot us think on the same line we the nonprofit would own the building do they own the property as well we need to find out what that goes back well even if we allow somebody to use property we're giving a value that's right absolutely and so we need to understand you know can't what are the obligations for giving a value that so I mean if we're giving a value to one organization without considering other organization potentially that could be problematic and I think that's where I would want to have somebody weigh in or that has our legal representation to say this is the process yeah and I can we can get that
102outline if you guys are requesting that I we can get that outline from legal I mean we can't you're 100% we can't just Beque property to people for lots of obvious reasons but it it is a there is a process for it right um it just would have to be very transparent and clear and open to public this is um this is a governance issue right so you you guys are weighing in um lot lots of details um I think from our position we are we do have a shortage we have constraints in term of terms of facilities anybody who's involved in activities Oh yeah knows the challenge in our community in the spring and the summer and the fall with soccer baseball football all the things right um the other part of it is
103if you're going to ask me as a as an ed educator because of this location proximity to Marshfield Junior High and Marshfield high school you know there's there's some efficiencies there to maybe get kids here for for after school programs yeah um but then there's also we have land out by Sunset Madison and there's part of me that says that's a that's a out there earlier that's how it started that's how it started yeah and I'm kind of late to this conversation um but there is a process and I can get that from legal and we we just are shorten facilities as much as I'm running for North band I also also besides having the the need at a specific time you know where we have sports of activities of education on very specific Seasons
104this will open up the doors to do like we do soccer all year round and now in the last two year we have two kids going to L you know so we're creating those athletes you know that go to farther you know so we want to support that not just in so we want to do it more yeah so Diane did you have any questions well I have a statement and kind of just back on to the land thing too just Alan thank you for just thinking of the kids in the community and um reaching out and and wanting to give a nice safe space and for for all of this community I think it is important I think any of us who have traveled to other communities even some smaller than ours they have
105sports complexes it's it's very common in the community I would love to see something like that um here and how that happens unknown um and just if there is concern from Community or anything about land or we obviously need to go through the process um you know sometimes just having the land sit there is not the best thing also um we have probably learned that you know there's a population out there that is polluting it and there's things happening so um that's something also I think as a board that we should consider making sure are we hanging on to something to hang on to something or um is it better to put it to good use can you build a KZ Bay City Library as [Laughter] well Kevin yeah so it's my personal opinion to
106not school board that you're a CL artist So my answer will always be no I that's there [Music] app so will consider this I to find out the big question at least for this will able to will there be yeah we'll and we'll bring our body cages I see this more anybody else have any comments thank you thank you I do want to wrap up and say we do have some some investigation we have to do with our attorneys to see what the process is the fact that we are in this potential move of buildings will put a hitch in all of this for a while okay um I don't know how fast we can move on multiple fronts at the same time and I know a lot of our bandwidth here in the district
107is going to be focused on moving the two schools and and developing um the other one yeah yeah for educational spaces um no Press thank you um so if you're willing to wait a little longer to hear you know for us to do a little bit more research and get back to you again yeah sure you know that's that makes sense you know I mean what I'm hearing from the board is they don't want to close the door on it at this point correct well it's great for the community you know and everybody that I talk to I haven't meet one person one yeah which I represent more know but uh yeah everybody's very supportive everybody it's almost like doesn't understand why it's not happening sooner you know but uh yeah I'm here to work
108with school and uh you guys need more time you know I do need to get back to North B yeah and I don't want I certainly don't want to shut the door on that if that's something that could move forward tomorrow and it's something that you're interested in I think everyone on the board would like to see a facility in the area rather than saying it just has to be here and Oak Street is right on theorder I mean Oak Street is a real location yeah it's not bad and I'm a Community member I mean my heart isn't you know I'm here for the and we have OPP to First for about 10 years with the same proposal no I talked to mik Forester few years ago and he say not grows that's where they
109want to build the school but now that I went back they were very welcoming and very positive but I told him that that be Plan B that I have to respect you know that I already approach you guys and hopefully okay I would say I mean I think I think all of us are very clear there there are there are as you said there are not enough resources facilities forid I mean I think we all know that you know we need some additional resources for kids to be able to be active in place boards it's it's a shame in our size Community how limited space we have to actually be doing that it's always amazing to me like in our small community there really is hardly any property available to build anything on it's it's
110it's crazy I I when I went to I I kind of be looking around just to figure out available land to do something with this like we live in this rural community how come there be how can there be no space to do anything it's because you know I I don't know that I've ever heard anything but that complaint from every school district in the world nobody has enough space for for recreation it's not just it's not just the school districts here though it's it's anybody that's trying to develop anything so it's really across the board and I we're getting more participation also for actually all ages you know uh so the participation is growing and also we're getting more participation from Sunset Middle School kids because most of our sport at least in soet
111and others are mainly Moma kids but now that we do socet all year round we're getting a lot of kids from s which is probably the initi so go that we wanted to be at sunset on that part of the town you know and and I also Envision is doing like long jump high jump in the winter I mean not just I mean we need to keep this kids buy you know we have the need and this is the a solution that's how I see it well there's opportunities for kids who can afford it with swap facilities and then uh Northwest down here has a great training gym that they they have a lot of our kids Sports and then also then there's the boys and girls club that also has a great space for
112a lot of uh events and things so we do have things I don't want to say that we don't but there's always a need for more would this be a pay would would would kids say yeah little you know uh at the beginning was going to be it depends how much money we raise you know and we're talking about and raises I mean right now uh on our comp that's I'm going by experience in the last five years we have families coming and practicing their K dances for free uh for age or voice Scouts for free I mean we do a lot and a lot of kids that participate they get a scholarships too so even picka there is probably we started like a month ago there is probably 10 well I know there's 12
113families already playing and they're going to have a tournament but kids before they do socket now they're hitting the rackets because we have different groups and different agas and different times so there is playing pick ball and it's nice to see you know and I on on cross training I believe on kids staying active you know and this is only one portion that we're talking we're talking sport but we also want to do support the other organizations you know I talk to latinx I talk to Cha we talk about robotics we talk about simulators I talk to Sarah stens this morning you know yes he is enhancing our community with more opportunities for kids and adults I mean last week Mary phasic was there with de W and Dian Le playing pck and I haven't
114seen them 10 years that was that was nice there there are some really neat uh CTE simulators for heavy equipment operators yeah there's some a for for kids who want to go into Aviation there's some really good flight simulators there's that we just could never afford right super expensive so that's kind of the other side we want to do I Invision people uh he taking a trip let's go to Mars you know everybody do a virtual reality and just go to Mars or let's go to Egypt let's go to a to a chemistry lab you know so it's not just education this would be like a 360 for all Community I think again this is a Governor's thing I'll collect information for you guys and you guys can have another meeting have get the decision
115I do think from a very practical standpoint as I watch our student athletes juggle practices at Marshfield we have kids who are practicing at 8:00 at night 8:30 at night getting home because we don't have enough facilities I watch football soccer that has a that does have a ho on kids and families yeah so would that would that you know include that our kids would get priorities yes absolutely in the so we would be able to schedule Marshfield and Junior High kiddos that have another hearing on this at some point because so let's move along right now we are getting late into the evening Alan thank you thank okay thanks a lot okay policy updates all right favorite part of the yeah I I'll be I'll be brief um are there any prospective policies for
116review that anyone would like us to consider wonderful uh on to First readings for adoption osba recommended um we are now on to except except for ikj that was one that we had uh I needed to talk to the tech Cadre and get their expertise on our artificial intelligence policy they had approached me seven or eight months ago about that policy and I knew osba was in the works so we kind of held off until we had a boiler plate one from osba that we could tweak uh so we've done that now with ikj the rest of them are from our policy analysis that we received back um first look at it it was a bit alarming but as I go through the details all of the ones that are that were flagged that said
117they're they're required but we we didn't have they're in the process they just hadn't been adopted yet um or they're conditionally required and we don't meet the conditions so that was good news we're not out of compli um then there was about 100 flagged for review some of those were flagged just because we haven't updated them in a while um so it's just like hey you should look at this again and make sure it still meets your practice not that you're doing anything wrong so when I saw 100 I I freaked out a little bit but it's okay we just need to look at them uh and then I'm I'm working on there's about a hundred that need deleted so we're chipping away at those and they're just they've either been merged into other policies
118or they're no longer required um so on uh yeah first readings for adoption we have use of a district activity vehicle for student transportation I think there was one word change in there um GBM is Staff complaints that was one that osba had directed me to delete prior and uh that was a mistake on their part we shouldn't have deleted that so you guys deleted it in November we found out about it it's back here now to be uh reopt no changes actually wait there was one change because the AR did get deleted so and it was referenced in there so we made that modification but other than that no no substit changes um gbn a jhff suspected sexual conduct with students and Reporting requirements uh that was one um from our analysis that we
119adopted as well or or is up for adoption excuse me um the next ones I won't go through all of them they are um the policies for first reading for deletion and they are all ones that were marked by osba um in that policy analysis as either being um um other be they're either wrapped into new policies or they're not required so that's why they're on here and we're doing it at least 10 a meeting um but I hope to do more of the deletion so we can just Hammer them out I'd like to start our next fiscal year with a fresh fresh we um first readings board member recommended this one was brought up in prospective policies for review um and it was the gist of it was board members should be able to
120go to games and activities to discharge their duties as a board member without having to pay um so what this policy did we actually had a this policy BHD it just had different language it didn't go into the specific so we took some language from another osba policy I believe was it cor valis Kevin believe it was Coralis um and it it actually dictates what your role as a board member is at the event right and provided that you are fulfilling those roles right that's how Arie I know you had a concern about compensating for board member well we're going to be very clear you're there as a board member as your duties as a board member here's what you need to be doing um so provided that's happening we think that should be should
121be squared away and we'll run it through legal before it's adopted yes that means we're going to put you to work M Rob one we know parents don't ask you questions normally right right AR just shuns them off I'm here for I'm not a board member tonight I'm watching the game um well that's it for first readings did anybody have any questions I just had you know I I uh maybe I'll just give you some feedback there's there's there has been some questions um from some of my my work my day job people around the requirements around um suspected sexual conduct and Reporting requirements it has created some confusion and I I read through the policy pretty clearly because it's a little bit narrower than sometimes it's being interpreted and and just because from the
122outside um this policy designed to keep the district safe from from actions that might be concerning to students and that's so but um but I think it's being used something a little bit differently sometimes so maybe I'll just give you guys feedback for you to consider the policy committee around that yeah and you'd be welcome to come join us for a policy committee if you'd like and we can come do my partner you're at the end of the agenda [Laughter] all right thank you yeah we will we will bring you inh any other questions thank you okay okay moving right along public input seeing none I forgot to have a sign up sheet but online is raising their hand okay actions to consider I believe we need a motion to adopt the school calendar is
123that what you're looking for uh yes I would like to make a motion to adopt our 2526 school calendar is is there a second I'll second okay is there any discussion Ary hi Diane hi David hi and chair votes I also so the 2526 school calendar is adopted the 2526 contract renewals and you will find that in your board packet uh near the end it starts on page8 so I move that we approve the contract extensions as included in our board packet a second okay uh these are contract renewals for 2526 is there any further discussion David hi Diane hi K Kevin I didn't get a chance so I could just abstain or Ary and and I will vote I I didn't catch who seconded that motion and Kevin abstain thank you okay board items
