I make a motion to approve the agenda. Second. All right. All in favor? Right. Motion carries. All right. Next. I move to approve the conscend. All right. All in favor? All right, we're clicking along. Uh, okay. So, presentation for today and June. A lot of stuff has happened over the past month. So, we had the HOSA blood drive and umbrella fair on the 8th of May. We had dog market. We had sources of strength did a mental health awareness week. We had the Odyssey play that Dharma put on. We had our election week assembly and NHS induction. Baseball went to playoffs this year at senior

004awards night, track and field day, prom. And so far in June, we've had a senior college signing, band concert, graduation, spring awards night, and tomorrow we have a field day and obviously a school. So um can the club category our uh HOSA put on blood the blood drive we had 20 participants six first time blood donated blood donors and we got total of 11 units of blood and then for our NHS induction we had 16 new members which is a lot I think last year we had 10 so we've got a lot this year and there's a picture in the concert. Uh, here's our play. The Odyssey, but mostly a comedy. So, drama is not funded through the school. So, Mr. Jones pays for all the costumes, the props, and the goal every year is

005kind of just set the ticket prices, cover like where he went negative. This year, he spent over like $1,000 on all this stuff. But with ticket funds this year, they made like a profit that'll go for us next year and they had 136 people in voting. So that's pretty good turnout. It was mostly economy mostly. Yeah, they they made sure we everyone knew it was mostly coffee. Um, so for our sources of strength mental health award mental health awareness week on Monday like a green out day where everyone's supposed to wear green and then it was different coloring and like mental health work treats throughout the week. The people who would turn in these or would wear green would be entered in for drawings with gift cards to places like Redmi Bird. There was I

006think like a couple hundred worth of gift cards. So that was pretty cool to see participate. And then the bulldog market was on the 10th. We had I think five student entrepreneurs things like crocheting jewelry bath and then based on like the class CTE program stuff we br shirts and then the early child education class about coloring books and then they also three printed fidget And then for sports baseball playoffs they played uh I think it's like Joseph Enterprise SLA was like a lot so I just put Valley cuz that's what it said on third page I think. Sure. Um it was the first time they made it to playoffs since 2009 and the first time winning a playoff game since 1984. Uh they lost to Cascade Christian 410 second round. It was a great

007game. Yeah. I mean, they were what, like the number two seed, so that was pretty impressive. I think for track and field state, um, our girls track and field won state title in the 3A. Our girls 4x 400 meter won first place was Kyla Leonard, Journey Meyer, Bman, and Jordan Lee. Um, for the girls 400 meter, Journey got second, Kylie got fourth, and Jordan got fifth. For the girls 300 meter, Kylie got first. For the girls 200 meter, Journey got third. For the girls 100 meter, Mila got eighth. Eighth. For girls long jump, Vika Gabriel got fifth and she got second. Triple jump. Boy high jump, Mason Sharks got six. And then for boys discus um Caleb got seven. I couldn't find his last name for some reason. But there was that was a mouthful.

008Well, we did really well in practice. And then um college signing Kaylee Waller singer and Bman signing to schools. Kay for softball for wrestling for basketball. We had CS election week. Um, so we had I don't know if anyone's told you guys about CPN, but it's like our ESPN and they did a live stream for like announcing the election results. It was like 2 hours long. It was pretty funny. We I was on the way to a softball tour in Idaho. We were like watching the live stream in the car. It was pretty great. And then um so our new student council for the next year, R President is Malachi Stan. Our vice president is Elizabeth Lewis. Our treasurer is Grant Sharps. Our ASB communications team is Riley Klein, Joel Benzorin, and Durban Meyer. Our

009freshman class president is Chloe Miller. Sophomore Azy Treadhold, junior class president, Ma. I'm the senior class president next. And then for our problem assembly, we did this like musical chair scavenger hunt thing. So on the slideshow, uh we would announce like a an item or a category. Yeah, I was just talking about you guys. Come on in. Come on in. You're fine. Come on in. We did this musical chair scavenger hunt. So, we would like announce the category and then the students playing in like the musical chairs game. They would get out of the chairs and run up into the uh stands and the students like try and get on the item and they would run back and get back in the chairs and they would take out chairs every time. It was pretty pretty

010great. It's pretty funny. And then we did a panel for the senior class president candidates with uh students. It was interesting. really not relevant questions that were asked. Then we of course gave out prom information, too. And then here's some pictures from prom. It was from 8 to 11:00 p.m. at the graduate was before. It was super cute. The graduate was a super fun venue. Everyone loved the venue and the DJ. There was like a balcony and there was like really pretty sounds in the background. So, everyone was really excited about that one. So really great at that. And then others just the hiring fair. We did a field trip to Connecticut's hiring fair. I don't really have any more information about that but that and then for senior awards night seniors were awarded with

011course awards scholarships and boards and there's some pictures are validictorians and so there's a picture and we have we have flag football we have like Sharks and minnows game. We're doing a slip and slide with some different like games with that. And then the courtyard we have face painting art games with different arts and crafts. The gym we have three basketball tournament like open gym. And then we have we have we're grilling hot dogs and we have ice there. We're starting here. Yeah. Are you coming back next year? Uh, I'll probably be at some will be charged as Yeah. Tell them to keep making them. Yeah. To my standards. Yeah. Can you send me the contact information for whoever made all those cupcakes? What? All the cupcakes for the bull. Yeah, thanks. Thank you. Okay.

012So, CS Oh, let's do that. We'll do the students first. Bring them to think. Is that on here? No, it's in my report. It's It's in the middle of my report. Okay. The kid, the girl, the team. Yes. Oh, in the CSC and we want to start with that slide and let them go. We can do that. You want to do that? Have to flip through until you can say stop. Push the push the forward button. Keep going. Easy. Close your eyes. Just right. Yeah. surprise. I've memorized all those steps. Okay. Well, back one. There you go. Um, so I I don't I I probably don't need to repeat everything um that Elise just said, but we do have the girls state track team here with us. I don't think that Chantel was able to

013make it tonight. Um, she was our girl wrestler who won state this year. Um, super excited about that, too. So, Kylie Leonard is here. Sure didn't probably know you. Welcome to Stan, too. She is our 300 hurdles champ. Um, and then she is also part of the four by 400 team. So, that's one lap all the way around each of them. One run, one lap. And what you beat the state record by five seconds and 357. Okay. So, Kylie, Brooke, and Journey and Jordan. Do a little wave. Okay. And then, um, we also have Mila here who was eighth in the 100 hurdles and Vikica was second. Um, or sorry, excuse me. Well, second in the long jump, but fifth in the triple jump. Flip it. Did I jump it backwards? My bad. Okay, flip

014that, guys. Sorry. Second in the triple jump, fifth in the long jump. So, yay. Um, this is I mean state champs individually, but state champs as a team. Um, and then also as a relay team. So, first time in a very long time. And then Chantel is our first girl to ever be a stage champ. So congratulations and coaches are here to support them as well. So thank you. It was was a warm chocolate too. The board had a certificate for each of you that we'd like to read that my job. Okay. In recognition of exemplary achievement and outstanding contributions to Creswell High School, this commendation honors your commitment to excellence, dedication, and positive impact on our school community. Your accomplishments reflect values of perseverance, integrity, and leadership and serve as inspiration to others. With

015gratitude and pride, we celebrate your success and commend your efforts. Thank you, lady. Can I hand them to Absolutely. Please do. As much as these girls are up here, none of them like to be that feels. So, Journey, congratulations. And way to go to our coaches, too, because track meets are not short events. You have been out there for all days with all those kids. So, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Right. So with that, our meetings are super fun. You don't have to say even though you just got here, you can leave. And we really are hanging out with us. Also, if you don't have you don't want to, but you can. And Amy wants to talk. Yeah, that's You're welcome. [Laughter] I'd say too. All right. Well, we're gonna just do a quick

016summary. Um, and then of course we'll come back in the fall and do a little bit deeper once we get our official data from our state assessments. Um, but we've had a really successful year um in many areas. And so I'm just gonna highlight a few of those. Is this working? I think our microphone thing, too. There we go. I know. So, we started our official student leadership team this year. It was super successful. We had um a few kids who didn't make it all year. It was because the time limit and such wasn't their jam, not because they weren't leaders, but they weren't the lead. We had about 15 kids who participated. All fifth graders. And I probably could have had way more. This cohort of students in 10th grade are all leaders like

017they're going to be sitting in these chairs with um we created a official like leadership application process. So we had a year yearly goals of tasks and activities that they would be a part of um and most of them completed about 20 hours of volunteer activities throughout the course of the year. So really proud of them for that. Um we continued to partnership with a leader a partnership with the leadership academy in BIM um and focused on our family dining event this year which again was really successful and fun. Um, we added another family night this year, which was our fifth grade science fair. And next year, I hope you guys come, you'll be blown away. I could not believe how great it was. It was just jaw open the whole time. Um, the students

018do the wax museum in fourth grade, as you probably know. Um, and then going into their fifth grade year, they kind of get the idea of presenting and they just take it and run with it. And um some of the exhibits that the kids brought were fantastic and over the top and um even the ones that didn't have a lot of support from home worked really hard here at school and were able to put together some really cool displays for families to come and look at. Um we continue to find as many possible ways as possible in our school for those writing listings to be valuable for kids. um it's our go economy and this year we had our leadership team that also provided a lot of exciting help. So we did make a hi

019drawings which was really fun and few other added things um and then we completed our second move up day um where we have all of our kids go to the next grade bubble teachers. We did this on Monday so that they can get to meet their new teachers. they go to all the teachers. Um, and it's also a good thing for us to kind of see some different greetings and gifts ahead of next fall to see if there's some changes that can need to be made before there. So, sneakily we're also checking out some combinations there. Um, but it was really positive. The kids loved it and they made some connections with the staff next year. Um, in the area of construction, um, we did add IRC support to fourth grade this year. um it

020it may not be sustainable long term and maybe because the amount of volunteers it takes to run the IRC program that this year we were fortunate enough to have a couple volunteers who are really passionate about the older kids as well. Um know we have kids that are in the fourth and fifth grade who still are not readers and this year in particular we have a lot of students move in who are really low um and also a lot of kids who are still trickling in from um homeschool out of the pandemic. So there were some pretty impacted kids and what they're held we were able to provide them as well through instruction. Um we developed standards of practice K5 for all of our curriculum areas and what that means is that we have some

021rules that all of our teachers basically created together of what if I walk into a classroom during science this is what all of the science classrooms should look like. If I go into a classroom during reading, these are the things that we should see and that is developed by the teachers um together this year which is pretty great because you know we all as a classroom teacher you assume everyone's doing all the things and sometimes it's not happening and so it was good for them to kind of develop that as a team. Um and then as you know we were a part of the Oregon RTI focus program this year. They focused on tier two and tier three. Um so we implemented some additional assessments this year which was really helpful for our teachers to

022be able to target instruction even more. Um and then of course we continue to work on um all that with our PLC's. We um this is our first school year kind of the TAG program that we we revitalized um and we identified 22 students this year um with TAG um and we have 61 students that we are having a watch monitor stage right now. We're not quite ready to commit them to being fully identified as tag, but they're definitely way there. So, pretty excited about that. Here's our overall reading and math data for our school. So, um I know it's meeting, but you can see the percentage. The the bottom bar is our fall graph and the top thicker one is spring we just took. Um underneath that, you can see the number of students

023that lived on. So in the area of reading, we went from 41 students that are three or more grade levels below to 30 as a school. Um and then on the other end, we had I think it says 55 students that were mid or above grade level. And we ended the year with 192 students above grade level. So some pretty big jumps in growth across the board in reading. And in math as well, we saw a lot of growth in math. Of course, we just recently um implemented our reveal math curriculum and um teachers are continuing to see a lot of progress with students coming in with more knowledge and skills than they've had in the past. But wait, there's so here's individual grade level data. Basically the exact same thing that you just saw,

024but in reading by grade. So you can see in kindergarten um we went from 12% of students on and remote grade level um all the way up to 97% of students. There's just a few kids who are not on grade level and there are students who have joined us just a couple months ago and who are significantly impacted by disability. So pretty proud of the growth our parent team continues to make. Um and across the board as they get older it does become a little harder to move the dial for them because a lot of the students that are behind are moving behind. Um so our sped team has been working really hard with our other specialists um with regards to the data that we've been collecting this year and targeting instruction a little bit

025differently. Um, we, um, spent a lot of time this spring looking more at individual kid data than classroom or grade level data because I think in the fall of last year, I I'm pretty sure I talked to you guys about this as well, but we had, you know, I think 35 40 new students move in our school and of those students, all of them, the three tested in the red zone. So, they came in super low, which felt a little defeating. I think it's no data is impacted by that. Um, but we even looked at all of their data students there. So, they received a lot of intervention this year. And then here's for math. I won't read all the numbers to you, but you can see the colors shifting. Our third grade students, um,

026in general, that cohort is pretty impacted with behavior. And in the fall, our third grade teachers have to spend a lot of time on routines and procedures and just expectations. So, instruction took a while to get started. Um, but they have really started to grow a lot. Actually, several students. So there's a lot of individual kid successes in that grade level in particular. Um so a couple of the specific highlights, 69% of our first graders are on orove grade level at reading. Again, 97% of our seconders ended the year um on or above. This is our second year in a row, which was really great. That's not common, but we're feeling really good about that. Um 61% of our students met their growth goal and I'm ready and 32% met their stretch growth and stretch

027growth is ambitious growth basically it's what we would expect them to grow they're receiving a lot of intervention support and so of the students not everybody would be third role but when we look at the students in intervention several of them did their stretch goal um we have 26 students in our school who have an overall placement at least one grade level above and reading and or math. So third, we have a fourth grader who is at a seventh grade level in reading and we have a fifth grader who is at an eighth grade level in both reading and math. So 26 total students who are performing an entire grade level, which is a good problem to have and we attribute that to a lot of our focus on the tag students we've been able

028to identify this year. Um 53% of our students met their growth goal and 24 met it in math the stretch goal growth goal in math. Um so what's next? This is not a complete list just because after the kids and staff leave this one summer and I really start getting the plans in place for the fall. Um but we'll continue to work with RTI um on tier 2 and tier three reading supports. We are making an adjustment to our SE model next year because of the changing needs and student students. We will be having two behavior classrooms and one academically focused classroom that used to be one behavior and two academics but our means have drastically shifted. This work will be to better support students and classrooms with that model. Um we of course will

029be implementing our new health curriculum and science and so thank you very much for your approval of that. Um, and then this year both Julie Johansson and I are putting out a summer I Ready challenge to our students to encourage them to complete 10 lessons in reading and in math um on I Ready over the summer and then they'll get a prize if they bring their sheet back. So, we're hoping that that'll encourage them to keep up on some of their skills. Um, and then our summer school program this year is targeting intervention students because we needed to cut back um the number of students that we were able to serve. they thought we'd get most bank for a buck and we invited families of kids who are receiving interventions and they'll continue that intervention

030program into the summer. So that's all I have. Do you have any questions for me? So it showed in the data there's like 50 kids between the grade levels that are still in the red hashtag uh reading or math. Do we do we seriously talk about holding those kids back or do we send them on and let them be even farther behind? Well, research shows there's a lot of research on this area. Really, there's only a positive impact of retention in the earlier grades for first and kindergarten. After that, the data actually has a lot more negative impacts on students. Um, so some of those children have a learning disability. So we don't really anticipate they're ever going to necessarily with their peers, but we're we're tracking those students individually on their growth. So if

031they're in the red and they're not making growth, then we are probably looking down the road of spend identification um more more so than retention because retention is not just academics, it's also like social maturity um their um behavior, their attendance, a lot goes into it and we have our retention. Okay. Thank you. The question though questions and I didn't mean to highlight only the kids. The fact that so many went to green by the time you're looking at the spring that really is fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. I mean I wish to like the reports that show the students you can see there's made huge jumps um which is feels really great but obviously yeah yeah I just have my own little like my anecdotal observing through IRC in kindergarten and you can just see of

032I can remember how it feels when they start and you're sounding out letters and then there's this moment sometime in the spring where I'm like they just read the whole sentence. That's That's pretty amazing to observe. Yeah. Yeah. Very cool. Thank you. Thank you. Tonight, Julie said, "Okay, I'm gonna do my best with part of a voice and I apologize." I didn't know if I could speak to her, but and it's hard for me to see what slide we're on, so I'm just going to be like reading the information. If you have questions at the end, let me know. So, for our highlights, uh, as far as differentiation and rigor, um, we continue to do the I Ready benchmarking three times a year, as well as the I Ready individualized lessons. We have continued improvements

033in our tiered supports. We have professional learning for our teachers as well as our classified staff. Ongoing grade level and content area PLC's, tag identification, IEP and EL meetings, um college and career connections for CIS, career day, HOSA, FBA, and electives. Um, we did a digital citizenship program this year and we continued to add to our uh, win program which aligns with the elementary school as well as the high school. And then under climate, culture and community, we continue to try to make school fun with spirit days and rallies and schoolwide activities and awards. Give students the opportunity to have leadership through student council FBA and HOSA. um our parent engagement through conferences and SST and uh site council, eighth grade parent committee, sending home information via parent square and our uh newsletter. We do

034welcome day, transition day, and incoming sixth grade parent night to ease some of that um transition between Crestling to us. Um, we continue to provide equitable disciplinary admin responses and then we continue our sources of strength. As far as some highlights on the next slide for uh student achievement data, this is based on the I Ready um mid or above grade level scores in math went from 13 students in the fall to 34 students in the spring. In math, 86 students started the year two or more years behind. And in the spring, only 51 students scored two or more behind. In reading, 89 students started the year two or more years behind. And in the spring, 58 scored in the same level. Some of those students increasing two or more years than less than a

035year's time. And that's what you want to see at the middle and upper upper level or they will never get to grade level standards. uh 54% of students met their growth goal and 27 per students met a percent met their stretch growth goal in reading. Um and that is higher than the national average on that. Uh 54% of students met their growth goal and 20% met their stretch growth goal in math. And so in the next slide looking at schoolwide fall to spring data. The top is overall I ready reading scores. Um and some highlights 38% grew to 52% at or above grade level by the end of the year. And our biggest areas of growth were the students in the mid above grade level. Um 16 students increased and three or more below grade

036level. 21 students moved out of that level. And then in math, 22% grew to 41% of students on or above grade level in green by the end of the year. And our biggest areas of growth were the students in mid above grade level. 21 students increased. And three more grade levels bel behind 21 students moved out of that level. So looking at the next slide, this is by grade level. And so we can see the sixth grade data both for math and reading between the fall and the spring and there was lots of improvement. We also have seventh grade data on the next slide. Sorry, I feel like I'm going to lose my voice any second. And then eighth grade data as well. So lots of growth um across schoolwide. Um the next slide is

037on attendance. I wanted to point out that as of 63, our attendance had improved for the year as well. So I show all the way back to 22 23. We know that statewide attendance continues to be an issue since co um but we continue to make small gains at that. We had 80% of students um qualify as regular attenders and our average daily attendance was 92.61% which is really great for middle school. So, what's next at our school? We're going to continue to offer more targeted courses. We're going to expand our course offerings for students needing en enrichment and intervention. We also created a a parent student survey to have more parent and student voice in the schedule and offerings and what parents would like to see their students doing as well as students. Uh

038we're going to streamline our program expectations further as well as our student study team process. We're going to implement the new adopted health curriculum and further implement the adopted science curriculum. We're going to continue our datadriven decision making as well as using our I Ready data and state assessment data to monitor progress. We'll continue our K12 collaboration. And uh something I really pride our school in doing is often with budget cuts, some of the things that you see go um especially at the middle level level are the accelerated opportunities. And we've created a schedule for next year that allows us to continue to provide those accelerations for students who need honors or accelerated math. We are partnering with Crest Lane and we're both doing the summer I Ready challenge and uh districtwide doing the target

039targeted summer school program. And that's all for CMS. Well, good job. Thank you. Thank you, Julie. seems attracted to this play. Um, okay. So, Creswell or excuse me, Creswell High School. Um, I think I think I say this every year because it is truly amazing. um our staff, the way that uh being such a small staff, we're able to leverage all of their skills and their talents and um being able to provide so many dual credit opportunities that we actually have to stagger some of them every other year. Um so this is what was offered this year. usually calculus and statistics. The stagger calculus one year, statistics one year, advanced chemistry general um versus advanced chemistry for healthc care fields um anatomy and physiology versus AP biology. So um kids have the opportunity to get

040those credits um in the time that they're at at the high school. But for this year, um you can see at the bottom we were able to award just in house with the dual credit opportunities that our teachers offer 1,82 total um dual credit credits to kids. That's amazing. So, and then that doesn't include those that are doing early college. We had seven kids that took um at least one class early college um and were able to get those by attending uh classes at LCC online um most of them. So, um, this this is just an amazing statistic that we're able to give our kids. So, and we really talk about credits with purpose because, as we've talked about, when you um are awarded the um Oregon Promise Grant, that's 90 credits. And anything you

041take in high school ticks off those 90 credits. So, you might only have 86 or 80 by the time you leave high school. So, if you really know that you are um going to be going to be a math teacher and you took a health class that could offer dual credit opportunities. If that's not the direction you're going, we really talk to students and families about not taking that for dual credit. That way, you're not wasting your free college credit opportunities on classes that aren't going to support your goal. So, we do that through. So there are kids that took dual credit classes too that then just opted not to take those credits because it doesn't benefit them for their future. It actually hinders their ability to use the Oregon promise in a way that

042supports their goals. Um I'm not going to talk about each of these, but the next three pages are just the amazing things that staff um and Angela, who's our college and career specialist, put on. I just wanted to point out that we took 42 junior juniors and seniors, it's the one in bold um to attend the panacific Northwest accreditation of colleges um at the college fair at the University of Oregon. So 42 students went and we know that sometimes kids just sign up because maybe they didn't want to be in biology that day. I don't know. But what's funny is when they go what they actually take away what they didn't think they were going to learn that they learn when they go to an opportunity like this. So, um that's pretty pretty amazing to

043take 42 students just to step foot on a college campus and to see what that looks like and what their possibilities are in addition to the other opportunities that were offered there. 15 students um who attended the Elevate manufacturing tour. So, um on this page, I just want to um point out in addition to the other things that we did that, um we started offering two financial aid nights. One, uh we learned that when we just had one, the families really struggled to kind of get the pre-work done for the getting their FAFSA filled out. They maybe hadn't gotten their um parent sign in and then you have to get a student sign in and those are separate and the parent who's a student. It's just a big tangled mess that is hard to navigate.

044And FASA last year, this year had changed how they did that. And so then that really affected people. So this year we offered two nights. One, just come and before FASA opens, we're going to make sure that you get logged in, get signed in, get everything you need. So then when you come back the second night, actually fill out the form because you'll have your IDs and and all of the the information you need as parents. and kids to get logged in and do that. So, um, in doing so, you'll see in the middle section there, um, that we had students that came and attended that night, but then Angela met individually with many, many families. And so, the state completion rate for the FASA at the end of May was 43% and our completion

045rate for the fast was 65%. So, um, we were really able to help families, um, move, you know, in that direction to help kids see what the possibilities. So, um, on this page, um, LCC CTE signing day. So, with the progress of our CTE programs, we actually took seven seniors to sign for LCC. And on that day, they were able to meet with their adviserss, look at their programs, and pick their college classes for the fall. LCC at this point now schedules out for a full year um in many of their courses. So they were able to pick their schedule for a whole year and get that finish before they started. Um and then um so the top one that I didn't highlight with sorry the the 5125 Josh from Roseboro um in our we

046haven't come up with a clever name for it but there is the new.5 credit for the HCPS higher education career pathways credit that all schools have to have on transcripts by the 2027 graduating year. Um, one of the pieces that we do in there starting their freshman year is building their portfolio in their Google Drive that they can take with them. So, cover letter, resume, just keeping track of all the events and um, opportunities and things that they participated in high school. And so Josh from Roseboro came and worked with our students um, who signed up to work with him one-on-one to help prep their resumes from an industry perspective. Um and then those kids were then able to take that to the Elevate Lane County. Um so 30 juniors and seniors took their res

047resume resums, got to speak with people um in the business, got feedback on their resumes, and got to do mockin reviews. So um that's pretty awesome and that's coming out of our new HCPS. Um, in addition to these seven CTE kids who went to Lane, uh, 20 seniors who went or plan on attending Lane also got to go and meet with adviserss and sign up. So, 27 kids total from this graduating class that got to go and um, just get set up for their classes at last year. Um, all right. So we started the year with 74 seniors and of the 68 who finished the year with us, all 68 of them received their diplomas. Two students did um elect medy year to transition to GED programs. Um and that that's that's always a bummer.

048We'd love to be able to keep them, but for family reasons and things that were going on in their lives, that was a choice they and their families elected to make. Um, two students enrolled with us late in the year and did not maintain attendance. They came to us from other districts, um, deficient in credits, some have not been in school since um, and just they did not maintain and we um, they have not gotten enrolled in another program. Both of them are seniors. um met families talked about LCC um in regards to the GED program or finishing an on-ampus high school diploma program through LCC. And then we have two students who will continue to be served with us. Um we right now have two kiddos um at the dis or in our well

049they're in our district but at the high school who will receive alternative certificates certificates of attendance. they count in our numbers. So, they're part of that 74, but we never get to count them in our diploma um requirements. And so, their needs um dictate that they will earn certificates of attendance um that they won't show in our numbers. So, that's part to that we'll continue to serve until they're they decide not to or age out. So, of those that we got to serve from beginning to end, 100% of them graduated and walked across the very warm stage this last weekend. Um, and then 91.89% overall for the students. Um, and that includes those that don't that are finishing with us but that don't count in our diploma numbers. Um, for the rest of the grade

050levels, freshman on track were at 93 uh almost 94% on track at the end of their freshman year. um we don't have that that last quarter data yet, but looked at third quarter data and then went through and those that we are concerned about, we look at what their coursework looks like to date and we're able to come up with those numbers. So sophomores are at 90% on track, juniors are at 96% on track. We advise seniors take the SAT and score between a 60 and 1200 with an average score of 1034. And then our juniors um 8:30 to 13:30 on the SAT with an average score of 1076. Are we worried about that softly? That that number 90 seems lower than what we've seen or is it just the mix the mix of the

051class? It's the mix of the class. Um and um there are some there are some nuggets in there who are working on it and they would be invited to summer school. Um, so for the class of 25 25 that just graduated, we for the last few years have kind of been trying to keep track of what they're going to do. And we do have specific information about where each student is going and what they're going to do, but we have 20 students who will be attending a two-year college, 18 will be attending a four-year college. Um, we counted trade school. So, some of the 10 are also going to a two-year, but they identify as being in a trade school versus going for maybe a two-year degree. So, 10 who are attending a trade school,

052which could be LCC or one of the well serves. Um, 13 who are entering the workforce and seven who just haven't really decided that they want to do yet. Um, so we'll go back to your sophomores. So, this year, um, we also are doing a targeted summer school. So, we have reached out to all of the students who reviewed all of the transcripts of the kids who are behind and identifying those classes that they can take that would help those core classes to start with that would help them feed back on track for next year. Um, it is only for credit recovery this year. We don't have the the fun classes that we offered last year. Um, so doing more credit recovery. Um, we did our first round of reaching out to families in April.

053Did a second round um in May. um did specific emails to families in May, one-on-one conversations, and then we'll do another targeted reach after this term grades come out next week. Are you finding they're pretty receptive to summer school? Define they their parents or them kids not. There's a few kids. I was really surprised because I have some that came in um a little bit later. Um, we have a couple homeschool kiddos that came in and just not everything they took were we able to transcribe and they really want to be on track. So, we do have some that, yes, this is what I want to do. This is what I'd like to accomplish. Um, we have some that are sophomores going to be juniors that recognize their like you're at the rubber meets the

054road sort of space and want to work to get that made up. So, so yeah, we do have some um I would say I think we have 13 signed up right now. And of those 13 um seven of them, I've just had individual conversations with students in talking with their parents like this is what I'm going to explain to your parents. I want you to see what it looks like on paper. So that way when they talk to you about why you're in summer school, this is why I invited you. What do you think about that? Oh yeah, I think that yes, I would love to do that. So yeah, I have a this is actually probably more for Mike. I noticed that on our personnel report for summer school, there's only one high school

055teacher. There's significantly more of the others. Does that have to do with like we didn't get the same grants for summer school or the state stopped funding in the same way? I know that was changing post because of the cutbacks on the funding that we have funding from the state. So we didn't have the funding right that we've had the past four years plus ESSER ran out last year right and that was our last summer using ESSER funds. So um but you know that's what we have there is a need for the number of students that would be in the credit we covered. We need to make sure that they get that. So is this where we're going to be using the charter or the software that we purchased online purchase? We'll be using a

056Celis to do this. Um the nice thing about Aselis is it is it's also um instructor driven. It's recorded instructor sessions that come from a Celis. Um but let's say we have a kid that sat through algebra. We recognize that they they probably have the skills just didn't do what they needed to do. We can use a celis or proficiency based grading. And so we can bump them to the first test. If they pass that, you say, "Great. Let's take the second unit test." If they pass that, great. Take the third unit test. Oh, you struggled there. All right, let's go back and do those lessons. So, it can be more self-paced. It doesn't have to be. And then the teacher can can work with those kids one-on-one to do that as they're able to

057move forward or get stuff. Is that what we see that teacher doing this year? Unlike it looks like middle school must have a different format, that teacher is really going to be there to manage and monitor the kids who are taking the sales classes. Yeah. And we did that last year too. Um last year when we had more funding, we were able to offer more hands-on classes. Um and in each section at we had two twohour blocks to like 8 to 10 and then 10 to 12. Um and in each of those sections we always offer just to sell us for those kids who wanted to take the credit recovery classes that we weren't able to offer. So the concept isn't entirely new. It's just now the only thinking option. Yeah. Jenny, how many weeks

058is the summer school? Seven uh July 7th through July 24th. So that ends up being three weeks. So there's like a good amount that you guys can I mean can be covered in that if they're and then as they can move as fast as they want. So the hope is they can get at least a half if not whole credit made up and in some cases kids like I'm gonna get on this and I'm just going to work at home too um and can do more. So they get they really get to drive at their own pace. Great. Thank. Um, so we already kind of talked about sports this year, but we had coaches of the year, Dan Smatters for girls soccer, Britney Whittenborn, boys soccer, Kevin Feice for baseball, and Scott Woram for girls.

059Down lower. Let's see. Let's get that. Um, and then, um, I'll let you read. close their open days, but first team all league. We have an amazing number of kids who are first team all league. Um league players of the year, which is awesome. And then um we talked a little bit about this when the girls were here, but um teams also qualified for state playoffs and our state champions. Thank you. Pictures. Those are great pictures. Really fun. Um so next year um Dr. Tolli will be stepping in. We'll be leaving him notes um for where we are. Um the uh alignment for the HCPS class we just haven't come up with a better name. We call it hiccup. Um that's what it kind of sounds like at this point. Um so uh we'll be

060using Wfinder um to meet those standards. We choose to do that on a rollout basis every year. So every Wednesday from freshman into their senior year, they'll be working towards that.5 credit that they need for their graduation requirements. U we really felt like as a staff um that spiraling of all the things they need versus just one course that they take their senior year because they're going to need to know how to do cover letters and resumes. They might want a job in high school. They're going to need to know how to write those college applications and to present themselves before they get to their junior and senior year. And so if you lump all of that into one course their senior year, they're missing out on using and learning and practicing those skills for

061the rest of the time that they're in high school. So that's how we'll hiccup through the four years at uh Creswell High School. Um the big thing um our student leadership as Elise has presented does an amazing job. Liz BS teach teaches our leadership class in the fall and in the spring and they put together some amazing things. One of the um things that came from student voice was being able to to have more representation, more student representation um on school culture and climate issues. And so this year we started um home room um representatives uh in regards to school culture and climate. and we brought them together um starting in April and they will continue to be the voice for their um advisory classes, their win classes. Uh and those kids stay together all

062four years with the same teacher. They could choose to elect after next year, you know, two new representatives, but um they are in addition to our student leadership. So, they will work with student leadership but also have the opportunity to work with a principal or assistant principal in regards to school culture and climate. Um and then um CL curriculum through Sources of Strength and Weight Binder. Sources of Strength really took off this year. It was our second year and those kids are super excited. They planned the whole week this year around mental health which was awesome. Um and we'll continue to do that. So I want to thank you Jane for the work that you've done at that high school. It did flip the torch when we were coming into co and that was a

063rough start for all of us. uh following the school through, getting uh the graduation rates up after a tough fall, getting those kids in there after CO every year, bringing those graduation rates up, increasing the CTE programs, double the offerings there, increasing the credits kids get going to college and prepare for college. Um a lot of highlights, a lot of achievements there. some that other schools in the state will never see graduation rates. The one I think for all our principles for sure. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Tony. Um, next order of business would be our superintendent. Sure. Uh so long list of activities there for the month uh in uh the first week of June and um one uh item that we we've accomplished uh with the uh bomb projects and that is

064the new softball path that's coming off of the parking lot going around the track the softball field and we'll continue to work on that and build that into uh part of the uh bark trail out there for our cross country team. Um highlights uh graduation of course the highlight of the entire K12 program just to get there and it's always a pleasure to be there with kids when they do finish it up. Um we uh we meeting with the staff there to talk more about the academic building improvements that we're headed into that work that's going on there. The North Eugene High School tour. So the architect that's working on those improvements for that building, myself and Joel went to North Eugene High School to see what is in a current building that costs $160

065million. And with the ideas that we've been given from staff and students over there at the high school, um how can we incorporate or upgrade this building with those new concepts that are coming in those 1780 million? The 10th graders are here. They're so they're so excited. Fair enough. So um so we picked up quite a few new ideas. I school one of the things of interest that we were we were really looking at was when you look at the counseling center and what and all the action that goes around the counseling center, the administrative offices and what goes on in the administrative offices. I wanted to keep that confidential from going on over here to the families and kids coming in to work their counselors. How do they in this new building? How did

066they approach that? And um I've been in the building. We're all in one office and it it's not easy to manage things that way as an administrator. And I wanted to see I was curious to see how they manage that. And they do have separate locations for both. They got the administrative offices in the front office and then a counseling center that is away from that area. And so um looking to to create something like that and the research behind that is very uh significant on well and common sense would tell you that's that's the way it should be. And so anyway, other things that we looked at there, uh the courtyard and how their courtyard is set up with, you know, uh the landscape and and where it's usable for kids year round and

067uh there's common places to meet and hang out and some study areas inside your buildings and how they set those up. And so uh we brought all those notes back and we'll be sharing those out with the staff as we move into the next phase or stage of uh the improvements over there. Um and we made a few hires significant hires for lives. So um any questions on anything you saw there? Anything stick out that you want me to talk about? Okay. All right. So, we have some no public comment. All right. Uh I'm finished with this action item. I do. So, actually Okay. I move to approve or adopt our new health curriculum. Second. All right. And we have the discussion regarding that. I know that we all had well I don't know if

068everybody had an opportunity to look at the the curriculum. I did I was able to look at it and I know Hannah was um I have to say that I appreciated it. I mean I I mean after looking at it I feel much more confident and um and going forward with it as well. Um I didn't know if everybody else had an opportunity to look at it. Yeah. I feel more comfortable as well like voting on it now that we've seen it. So pretty straightforward. Yeah. I have one question. I think you said this last week is the are there any online resources that are different than the book? So like would our kids be sent anything? Are there any online resources and are they different? Um well probably speak a little better to that

069but kids get to research during health. So there will be online resources that they get to research um that are part of some of the assignments that are put out there. We also adopted Wavefinder um which we'll use for hiccup. Okay. But there's also social emotional in there that um is also um a state um standard but complements what's going on in the book. But as far as bringing in outside resources, only those that um are part of like the division 22 standards and Aaron's law, Addie's act um some of the things that we're expected to cover and the laws that are associated with those. Yeah. All the So this I I brought this for you guys. The top part with the bullet points was on the slides before. I just added below that specific

070standards for OD. Um, and if you look at them, most of them are actionable. Discuss this, analyze that, demonstrate this, identify that. And so we don't stray from those. If it says do a, that's what we do. Um, and so yeah, students obviously access information that's out there, whether it's CDC or any more I mean, we all know the situation. I think I'm trying to reference without referencing that happened at another school district this summer that there was lessons available to the teacher to send out that weren't in the book potentially. So we I'm trying to ensure we don't have our that same issue. So all of our lessons are built directly out of state. Okay. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Okay. I got it. Okay. I just want to make sure we're

071covered in situations like that. But yes. Gosh, you sorry. No, no, it's okay. I was being I was trying to be too Thank you. Okay, I'm good. All right. Um, any other questions or concerns, discussion? What do you Well, what do you really with this grade? What do you What do you like about it? Uh, that it's not digital. Um, I view the text as an additional and different type of resource for students to learn from. Some some kids like X, some kids may be going on a hunting trip for a week. There's no Wi-Fi. So, to be able to work with that to give them opportunities to learn, they don't have Wi-Fi. Uh, a student this year who uh wasn't allowed to use electronics. Um, so the book would be nice then as well.

072Um, and then just, you know, I I try to teach the kids when you're finding information, that's obviously a big part of what we do is finding quality information. What are your sources? We get into, you know, who's writing, who's writing this, who's paying for this, the person who's writing this, what is their agenda? Do they have an agenda? Are there other reputable resources that support that information? You know, before we actually get into that. And so this is in my view is just another one of those. Um so yeah is about thank you. Um all in favor thanks for hanging out an hour for us for 20 minutes tomorrow. Yeah. Well, Candace, I feel totally comfortable talking about this because I do it all the time. Yeah. So, yeah, if you guys I have

073an embarrassing question box I bring out sometimes. So, if you guys ever have any of those, feel free to email me on the down. I was more trying. We have some new um Yeah. Yeah. I have a feeling I'm not one. There's like 50 people. I'm not sure. I got it. I She says it's not her. She didn't send it. No, I just texted her and she said that it's being I don't know, but she specifically sent it. So, yeah. All right. We have an email that went out that has been shared that shows it says staff payroll um title staff payrolls. It looks like it's from you but it's from someone else. Sharing it out. And I just text Brandy. She said it's not just that technology. It's wonderful. Um all right. So, let's

074just go along. I know people only have places to go on to the promotion. I know. Uh, new business. We have an action item. I move to approve resolution 2425-02 adopting this year's budget or next year's budget. All right. Do we have any discussion following budget meeting last week? I think we all pretty good understanding of what's happening. So um those all in favor? Thanks. Motion carries. Next one. So go. Okay. So the next one is I move to approve resolution 2020 2425-03 the 256 meal prices. Second. Okay. Um there any discussion here? No. Feel like we do. This is fine. We're pretty standard. Just letting us know what the meal prices are. Anybody have any questions about that? All right. All in favor? Okay. Motion carries. Look at us go. Let's see. I move

075to approve the res-4 board organization and annual business appointments. I All right. Any questions here? We don't have to read this resolution. Okay, good. I think it looks similar with all the ones we've done in the past. Are there any changes here? Mike. Okay. All right. All in favor? All right. Perfect. Cars. Next. Try a quick way to go back and forth, but I don't really. Okay. I move to approve posting of the policies that are outlined in tonight's agenda. Oh, can you find I want to read all those. I'll second. Okay. Uh, all in favor or any discussion? Okay. All right. All right. Oh, motion. All right. Question. Is this you, Mike? No, it's Joe. I was like, are you leaving or doing like he's running away? I know. I know. We're trying to

076get everybody up to be able to go to the thing if they want to go. Uh, please. Yeah. So uh we had six uh six received six proposals all local companies by&m construction also known as BCI on the street that's kind of their logo on their so they actually just recently did some work for 4J. So I had some really good recent um I talked with this project manager that they did a job for 4J for steel structured building actually. So um they did a did well there and so um just want to share with you guys that our intent we're negotiating contract agreement with them right now but you in the packet you see my award to intent that's legal document that gets sent out so people know that we've we're intending to award

077the contract to them and we are past the uh official protest period so nobody's protested. Perfect. All right. Anybody have any questions for Joel? Thank you Joel. Uh our next item is the discussion regarding board evaluation and I think that when we were in leadership we were just discussing that I think over the summer Joel just happening so that we can get do our board evaluation. So when we come back in after having our month off in either August or September we can um look at that. So I think that pretty much the discussion on that was just maybe like a notification that you shall be receiving an email. Did you use the same instrument? Same. I think so. I think it I think that worked well. Just update the dates and years. Yeah, that

078would be that would be great. So um yeah. So I'd be looking for that in your email and maybe we can you know do something with it. So maybe if we could have it sent out like the last week of July or something. Yeah. And that give everyone yeah two weeks to do it about two weeks. My thought maybe get it set out mid July wants a whole month. I think a little bit more time. I don't check my email often. Well I know that's what I'm thinking. When you send that email is there a possible way to get Mike send us a text message maybe because I think that he does that. I do have some time off that I won't be doing things. So little so maybe like that because sometimes that like

079those email gets kind of lost with all the other OSA stuff I think we all get. So all right so that is that and then our final action item for the evening would be the election of board officers. So I think in historically over the last few years we have decided in June to do that so that they're prepared to take over the office in August and then I mean I love doing this. This has been a great experience but I'm excited to sit down there for a minute. Um uh so I think that at this point we would do nominations to uh board chair and vice chair. And so I'm going to go ahead and just nominate Candace for for chair. Thank you. I'll second. All right. I would like to nominate Mary for

080vice chair. Oh, I'll second that. Open to that. I'll do that. Sweet. All right. I'll second that. Okay. Sarah seconded. Okay. Awesome. So, all in favor of Candace for share. Okay. Motion carries. And then all in favor for Mary for vice chair. I have no idea if I did those, but you did great. I'm like, you should. All right. So, there we go. We have new leadership and well, sprinkle in your leadership. Y and I too. Um, so next thing on our agenda is trusty report. So, Mike, do you want to report on all the things that we all did? Yeah, one one lady meeting, two union meetings, two graduations in the play. Wonderful. I thought that play was really good. Comedy. Comedy. My favorite part in the play was when they paused and started

081talking to Jones and everybody was like, "Wait, is this a part of the play or did they mess up?" But it was even being funny. So, it was it was great. Yeah. I I thought he did a did a really good job with this. He didn't even get my granddaughter to speak loudly and slowly enough everybody could understand her. He's good. I also went to the play and Alai was in it. So that was super fun. He's never done a theater before, but Jones convinced him that it needed to happen. So that was that was fun. Um I also hosted the ESPN um election night at my house, which was actually a weekl long event. um the setup and the live streaming and all of the things as they announced um the student body elections

082that was actually really fun um to support kids in doing that. Um, I was at high school graduation and I went to the staff end of the year barbecue which was kind of fun. Um, just to see all of the staff and talk to people. Um, and I Oh, and this is a plug for Elise. Um, tomorrow they're doing their field day and if you guys want to come help serve hot dogs at the football field at 11:30. It's around noon. Um, but we're I do this every year. Brandon Faker will be on the grill, but you guys are welcome to come join. Um, she wanted me to invite all of you if you're available. Um, they're kind of fun together last minute leadership class. So, you too, Mike, if you want to come over

083and pass us some hot dogs, Elise would love to have you there. Oh, okay. Also, tomorrow at 1:30, they're lining avenue to take the state champions down Oregon Avenue, whether it be tracking in Chantel. So, yeah. Perfect. Track, track, more track. I was working in Medford and I was like, "Oh, I loved Life 360 and my niece was playing tennis a block away from my clinic that I was at." So, I got to go to the Creswell um tennis districts. And then when the boys made it to the second round of playoffs, I scheduled myself to work at Medford so I could do an overnight down there. And I got taken a baseball game down there. That was fun. I missed high school graduation because I was at my nephew's graduation. Um I went to

084the middle school one. I have done bargaining. Some bar Oh, yeah. I've done some bargaining. I've not done some bargaining, but I've done it. And helping organize helping organize some football stuff already. Weird. So weird. So weird. I don't know what else I've done lately. uh unique things not already mentioned. Um IRC of course getting to um help the kindergarten finish their year is always a highlight for me. And then um the NHS induction um went to see one of the largest class get inducted into that which is awesome kids interested in that. Yeah. And you went to sports awards because I saw you there. Yep. Yep. Uh I had our last softball games and senior night. um sports awards. Uh we had a leadership meeting. We all went to middle school for policy. It's

085on my list. Policy committee. Uh I also went to the drama play which was a very fun play and the perfect amount of time. It was like a really good sweet spot of how long it was. Uh policy committee and I read a lot of scholarship items for CF to award senior scholarships. So that is what I did. Did a lot of things you guys did. But the only thing that I did that was different was I did go to the senior awards night at the high school. That's the only thing that I did that is different. So with all of that, a reminder that we do not come here until enjoy. Go somewhere, but not somewhere. But we will be back on August 13th at 6 p.m. And so I will join the studio.
