I would like to introduce you to Austin McCoy, one of the student house leaders of the House of River. He will be joining me this year as my co- student board.

005off for our first student and staff head of house retreat. The first stop was Billgates Jetboats where we took an excursion on the Rogue River, traveling 36 miles round trip, and Mr. Freeman joined us for our jetboat ride. He definitely understood the boat captain's assignment. He successfully helped the captain get us super wet on our way back. We enjoyed together. The boat captain let us know that we were the absolute best elementary group that he has had all summer and we would be glad to and he would be glad to take us on the river anytime. After our trip, 23 student leaders, eight adult heads of house or house Mr. Freeman and four amazing parent volunteers traveled with us to Cascade Mountain Lodge. Outside of Grant's past, we stayed for two nights during our stay.
006We got to know each other through team building activities, public speaking opportunities, and time spent bonding. It was great to see our house team come together. Many of us didn't know each other well prior to the trip. We all got to know each other well, and we all left as friends. Our adult head of houses planned some fun and exciting team building activities to include an escape room. We where we found Mrs. Beard is very incompet competitive and a no hand solo cup stacking competition, an art project, and a blindfolded drawing competition. These activities were a fun way for all of us to work together and learn each other's drinks. We would like to give a huge shout out to our amazing parent volunteers who prepared a delicious meals for us. Mr. Baui, Mrs. Ring,
007Mrs. Brown, and Mrs. Furlong. Our retreat would not have been been a success without them. In addition to us, in addition to supporting us at the retreat, many of these parents and more helped us put on our second annual student leadership car wash. This was a huge success with a ton of community support. We want to thank fire chief Ted Dame Damewood for his continued support to our of our districts. Austin and I are looking forward to sharing all great things happening at Glide Elementary with you throughout the year. See you next month. [Applause] A [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Laughter] [Applause] All right, if I can interject here real quick. Thanks Olivia for throwing me under the bus there. Uh first of all um my bosses that was really a hard day
008of work right there. I just want to let you guys know that. So um shout out to uh Tammy and Brian Odell for their efforts in putting this together. Absolute amazing experience for our kids. We got so many great compliments like you heard from the um boat driver just they ended up we ended up getting there early so we stopped at the original Dutch brothers and got a huge compliment from the people in there. Everywhere we went they recognized how um awesome these kids were. So shout out there. Okay, now it's about me. So when we stopped for our brunch, the dockan asked me if I wanted to know how to really get the boat wet. And I said, "Well, of course I do." And so he taught me a little technique. He said, "When
009you're in a spin, you need to do this." All right. And so the two girls sitting behind me, the first one um was a where they slow down and the water comes over the top. You saw that in the video. And I got wet and they were just giggling. Oh, Mr. Framer got wet. So, the next one was a spin and I stuck my hand out like he said to do that and it works. What he didn't tell me is how wet I was going to get. But those two girls behind me were literally drenched soaking. Let me clarify one more thing. It was 100° and it was fun getting wet. They had these grins on their face and they loved it and they wanted more. But from that point on, they made it their
010mission to see how wet they could get Mr. Freeman by the end of this boat trip. And they succeeded. I was a drowned rat by the time I was done and they just had the biggest smiles on their face when they left the boat. Great experience. The whole trip was wonderful. You heard shout outs to our parent volunteers. Could not have done that without them. It was it was absolutely wonderful. The one thing you haven't heard is that there was four or five people that went on our trip back to RCA in Atlanta last summer and that were on this trip and they said this trip um was far and above better than the trip back to Atlanta. So again, kudos to this team. >> That's amazing. Love it. I'm jealous. >> Yeah. Okay. Um
011so um I would entertain a motion to approve the revised consent agenda as presented. Oh, I'm sorry. No, no, no. Come up with this is yours is more exciting for sure. I wanted to add one thing that we >> we were able to reserve that whole book which was awesome. And I ended up with two extra tickets that we were able to so far during the um summer. Hey. And one of them said, "Hey, if you need me to hold your purse tomorrow, I'll go with you." And then we found out we had to, "Hey, how about you come home in person?" So, they were super happy. And it was just great to see our kiddos interacting with them. Yes, it was very wet right. So it was great though very hot. So um in
012the 11th hour of the school year we received that summer school grant that we had to like hurry up and get classes turn around and um we were able to do that and get everything in on time and our Mrs. Greg the last several years our summer school head of and she just got right was just phenomenal that facilitated. So this year their theme was full ahead. They had four teachers and two IAS and then we also had our ESY program happening at the same time that supports our students who need so we also had two high school students who partnered with us and volunteered so much of their time. So um along with part of the grant requirements for two participated with community hooks. So we had foundation and then also office they just
013explored all the same things. So they based their learning on the four elements. They one week they did the water they come down to Whistlers and they play slow rocks and then they also went down in the river and we did just had a great time brought their pedestrian safety in their bike course. So our third our K2 students focus on pedestrian safety and six got to brush up on their bike. So some of our kids how to ride their bike so they learn how to ride a bike >> and then at the end of that they around the loop. So, um, see this is all the fun stuff in addition to all super just super organized, super wonderful. Um, Ashton Bolson from Barefoot Dance came in and did some dance lessons which we've done
014several years if and so she came for our water break. Um, staff who I wanted to tell you Mickey Spreg, Sandra Wright, Mackenzie Fitzpatrick, Shelby Warren, Lucas, Sarah Pinch, Melissa Potter, Cody Munos, Frost, Sarah Murphy, Dian, and then also our high school volunteers. one was a longer sent um right and then I just saved up the whole month of July and just put together a fantastic links and it's win and I don't anyway and then you guys are already talking about any thank you. Okay, back at the fun stuff of approving consent agenda. So, I would entertain a motion to approve the revised consent agenda as presented. Okay. Any discussion? >> Sorry. Um Okay. So, uh all those in favor I motion passes. Okay. And then do we have any no public purpos? And moving
015on to action items. So um I would entertain a motion to approve the 2025 all district parent student handbook as presented. I move to approve the 2025 all district parent student handbook as presented. >> I'll second it. >> Any discussion? >> I was gonna jump in first, right? But uh I think I can anticipate one something Jen want to say. So, um, first of all, I want to give a shout out to, um, Director Holland. She spent time and went through the whole document, I believe, and found some errors in there. We did make the changes on them that you had suggested. So, I want to make sure you know that before you approve it. Um, uh, this handbook was, um, long overdue going through it. That's why I felt like it was pertinent that
016we bring it to a level to make sure you're aware of what we are putting out from parents and students. I want to give a shout out to um principal delight and principal beard for spending the time for thoroughly gone through there. Carrie spent hours making sure our policies matched what was in the handbook and aligned and um just really appreciate his effort on that. So they are here to answer your questions if you have direct questions about the handbook. That's why if you don't remember seeing the handbook in front of you in previous years, that's why we made sure it was up to date according to the policies and we wanted to make sure Um, watch. some of it. I could I don't know. >> Oh, I just I don't know. It might be
017I think I'm getting I didn't get through the whole but I think place when the public I presume that this essentially a living document. >> It is a living document. Yeah, I was going to say that. >> I'm sorry. >> No, I wasn't. Then I decided not to say it, but thank you for saying that. >> Yeah, it'll change as we adopt new policies or if we have new procedures that are being put into place in the buildings, it'll change. >> Yeah, it almost has to with the policies and come from um I'm sorry, I want to say one thing. Um so I did talk to both principles about director Holland's concern about put in front of parents and both of them identifi I have another question in um distribution or is is how are
018the kids going to be exposed to it? Um, is it here read this? Does you know where that'll go or or how is that going to be? And uh I understand that that's going to be a different thing for elementary versus secondary. sign off on that they they're signing off that they read it little different. So you say did I hit sorry's not great. So >> so it sounds like maybe parents and students though signed acknowledge that. >> Yeah. I I think it's it's something worth reviewing because we know how much this stuff gets I'll say with you put a lot of work into it for one that's enough to be good everybody ought to read it but what it stands for is I I guess the tree I'm barking up is I want to
019make sure that the students understand it uh because this also discusses any profession if they break the rules And let's face it, people are lazy. We're innately that way. Uh, and I'm not knocking anybody or anything. That's just the truth of it. And I almost for suggest take down you leave there and have teachers go over with the student. >> Okay. If I didn't clarify that, that's what I >> Thanks. That's what I was looking for. I just I wanted to make sure that it was they are truly exposed to it. So, thank you for your efforts in that and thank you both for going over with the students with that because I think that's going to help make the atmosphere of life better. >> Can I interrupt for just a moment? So, we are
020having some zoom outages um outside of our control. Let me back up. Yeah. And so, yeah. And Dan uh is in and out. He said it's very quiet. So, if we just make sure you speak to the mics as much as possible. >> Yes. I've been on the other end of that as as Robert and you have to really be like on top of the microphone just like this >> or nobody >> okay so any more discussion on handbook all those in favor of passing the handbook as presented. >> I motion passes and we're going to move on to the personal electronic device policy. All right. So, it's really important for you to hear me hear my first part of this introduction. Um, this executive order that was issued by our governor minimally impacts our
021organization. The only thing that this impacts is lunchtime at the middle school and high school. So, please keep that in mind. Um, I don't like blanket rules. I don't like somebody telling us what we can do and what we can't do, but in the greater scheme of things. Um, we're already doing a lot of the things that were in that mandate. At the elementary, they're going to see no difference. um at the high school and middle school it will impact students at lunchtime. All right. So having said that um I met with my leadership team and uh we did have an option of waiting till January to implement any policy. We had a policy in place by October and then we had to implement it by January 1st. Their concern with that is starting the
022school year under one set of rules and then finishing the school year on another set of rules. That's why I'm asking you to and I'll go through how we came up with this, but that's why we're asking the board to approve the policy on the first reading so they can get it in the handbooks up to staff. Um we are asking staff to model um for our students. that will be a little that'll probably be a bigger change in the students to be able to approve. Um but that's why we're asking you to approve that on first read. Okay. Having said that, OSPA did come out with a um a sample draft of the communication policy and I just tipped my hat there a little bit. I am I am not a blanket rule person.
023I think you punish the people who do follow the rules by having blanket rules for everybody. So we have chose in our first iteration of this draft and this policy to try to go as lenient as possible and put as much responsibility back into the students and then for those students who can't accept that responsibility then we'll work individually with them instead of making a blanket rule for everyone to follow. So in front of you is uh work that um the principles went through um we did get uh other eyes on this and um where we could we made it as lenient as possible. So an example of that is we have the option of confiscating cell phones and putting them in a locker when students arrive on campus or asking the students to keep
024them out of sight and in a secure place whether it was in their backpack or in their locker and we chose to do that again with the students back that is possible. All right. So did either one of you want to jump in on that or is that set it up pretty good? Okay. >> I guess I should have waited and ask for a motion before I said all of that. Sorry. >> Oh, no. It's all good. Um I will I will entertain a motion to um adopt the personal account policy as presented. On first meeting, >> I move to adopt the personal electronic device policy as presented on first reading. I'll second. >> Okay. Any discussion? I really I appreciate this taking and looked at some of them that thank you for taking that
025are going to be getting that. I also just want to say um like Janet um I love the the steps of how you will handle it if somebody uh violates the policy and I thought that was pretty amazing actually um like you said not this blanket rule but just kind of like it's pretty lenient all the way down and then it was still problem just kind of working in division so I was pretty impressed by that. Um, I think that it's a struggle when when powers above say like it's got to be this and you don't there's no like um local autonomy in how things should go. But I get the premise behind it and I think that also implementing it now is is the best way to go and yeah there will probably be
026some bumps in the beginning but I'm sure it'll smooth out. >> Absolutely. It will be a work in progress. We're going to learn as we go. Um I really appreciate um you guys recognizing the efforts that we're making because um I know I talk a lot about how culture has changed in the Glide School District. And that's a perfect example. Um our policy is not a we got you and we're going to nail you. It's like we got you. Here's here's the rules we have to live by. How can we help you? And as you can see, we do include parents in that process, too. I think it's disaster. So, thank you for recognizing that. >> I I find it sad that we have to do this at all, but again, kind of reiterate what
027what Janet and Tracy said. Uh, I think this is a a fantastic outcome. Um, a chance for the students to grow, which we're all about, in accountability and responsibility. Um, they need safe places to understand that. And I think we're doing it, and this is a great example of that. Uh and I I think if there's really too much push back or see yeah I won't say any I don't know what word I want but some push back on that I think one thing is to u show what some of the other schools are doing brought up and it's like you you've got it easy here, you know. So, >> we'll remind them that we're the district. >> Right. Right. So, >> so my comment today, Director Shaw, thank you for recognizing that is it's
028okay for families to disagree and push back. as long as they deal it with civil discourse, uh, it's when they cross that line, then we'll deal with that, not necessarily this policy or that. But, um, yeah, I think I start I think I even said I struggle with someone up above that has no ties to our organization telling us how to operate, but that's the world we live in right now. So, we're going to do the best we can. Okay. Any more discussion? Dan, John, >> I'm good. >> Okay. All those in favor of passing the um the personal electronic device policy as presented. >> I >> All right. Motion passes. And let's see. All right. And then we've got the Boy Soccer Cooperative Sponsorship Agreement. >> Yep. So, this one's a little um um
029not very positive, a little discouraged by this, but I do want to give a shout out to our athletic director and our principal, Dwight. Um they we went down every possible path that we could to keep our program. And we recognize that when you when you end a program that it's hard to rebuild that. Um so we I just want you to know we tried everything possible. Um this point I think I want to turn it over to principal Dwight to go over this um handout that he has for you and it really explains the process how we got here. directly into the >> directly into the Dan. >> That's right. >> Yeah. Um All right. So, I tried to type up kind of just a quick outline for you guys on co-ops. Um essentially
030the OSAA school activities location basically developed this for small schools so that participate kids do. Um last year we did our forecasting. Um, and as you guys know, small schools like athletes like Eb and Flow programs, um, I'm told like a few years ago with football, we had barely 20 kids and now we're up 40 plus. Um, unfortunately our spring forecasting, we had about 14 or 14 kids signed up for soccer. Um, three of them decided to play football as upper classmen. One had to have some surgery and one transfer to Roseberg. Two we haven't heard from. three number kind of. So, um the best way for us to kind of move forward is to go up with releasing their short on not necessarily short on numbers but been on numbers. Um and they'll they'll
031take our case once again >> and I think we'll have probably three. >> I'm just now they'll stay in the 2A 3A. It doesn't matter. >> So that Yep. That special district is 1 A 2A 3A. in I think we're district three. So co-op and motor point have a co-op and Pacific have a co-op. >> Um, yes. >> Uh, they'll practice. So our kids will go to them for practice. I think they practice at Fergrove. The parents of the I think there's two kids for sure that are going to play. Possibly a third one are on board with their kids getting in there getting CBDC to catch the bus to go wherever they >> Okay. Um >> so really the uh the OSA like chief executive officer just like approval like that will sign up
032on their superintendent. I'll continue the second page. >> And any further discussion? I know we kind of just had it. Um I think it's I mean any way we can provide for our kids to be able to still play that's >> Yeah, that that would be great. >> I got you. I beat you. >> That is one thing I beat you. Director Shaw >> is like a yearly thing. Yes. >> It doesn't it doesn't carry on. It's a one year. Okay. >> And I will tell you that um athletic director Smith is already in contact with Clyde Rick and coaches there um and they are going to work at um continuing to build the interest around the soccer program. uh we we have been told that there is a large group of younger kids that
033participate in youth soccer and so the kids are coming. So, >> okay. >> I I hope the best case scenario is this is a one-year request from the burger question. Do we have what kind of financial insurance obligated with this agreement? Uh I don't know on insurance. I'll have to research that. Uh but as far as financial obligations, I don't believe we have any. we we are not agreeing to co-pay for their program. Um I know at one time we had uh mentioned that we just had hired a soccer coach and that our soccer coach could be an assistant for UBC. uh but they notified us that they are they're full staff fully and that they uh just want their purchase to finish. If you would um I would ask that we check into the
034insurance if there's any obligations there or how that's going to work if one of our students gets injured. >> You want to know if we have like a writer or something that protects our kids, >> right? Even though you know is this is this uh cooperative how cooperative is you know I kind of look at as a limited liability corporation kind of so sorry it's kind of where my mind goes >> so and I just >> I just want our kids taken care of that's that's my goal really >> and I'm not flirting I'm not saying that we shouldn't vote on this >> yeah you have a response on that I don't know >> I would assume that our kids are covered even still through us. >> Okay. >> And I think if if there
035was any liability that occurred on UBC's part, I would think they assume that liability, >> but I'll find out for sure. >> Right. in there. So, >> well, and we've had them on our football team >> and football. So, >> yeah, >> I I'm not aware of anything that we've sent to UBC to do that. So, and I know schools do it. Um, principal, like I said, even in the soccer league, there's two other schools that are coming on. So, you know, it's a it's tough question, but I don't want to be an option. >> I appreciate looking out for kids and our families. So, I will look into that. Thank you. >> Okay. Any further discussion? >> I just want to add, hey, thanks for looking for more opportunities for our kids. So, thank
036you. >> Okay. Then all those in favor of adopting the OSAA cooperative sponsorship agreement with UBC school as presented. I >> I >> motion passes. >> Okay, superintendent report. >> Yeah, I got a couple things for you and I' I'd like to continue the format that I did last meeting where I'll talk about a u situation or an event and then I'll pause and give you the opportunity to ask any follow-up questions. Okay. Uh so um I was asked um and I think that'll probably come up when we go into our executive session about my evaluation to be clear on events and how they tie into our strategic plan. So I do want to backtrack a little bit and uh on both our um Bobcat leadership retreat and our summer school. Both of those um
037fit underneath our vision of um empowering every student to excel academically, socially and emotionally, preparing them to become responsible global citizens and lifelong learners. It also fits under the focus area number two of student engagement. Provide an environment that motivates and challenges all students K12 to participate in school activities that prepare students to achieve life goals. We saw that in action. Uh the first thing I want to talk about is um our all school registration that happens um yesterday. >> Yeah, time flies when you're uh great event. Um it's really a it's a social way to kick the school year off. We have families, uh parents, guardians, students, our staff is here ask how they do what they've done during the summer. to start that building that relationship. And of course that falls under our
038focus area number three of a welcoming and inclusive inclusive district culture and yeah questions about all district registration. I am curious with Phoenix shutting down did we have influx or student and I know I know it doesn't it's not directly um related to Phoenix but Liz Olsen from the elementary was in today at the district office and she was um talking about how many more students they have this year than we've had in the past. So, not quite up to precoid numbers, but we're getting close to that. >> I was kind of curious. No, I I what I just talked about there was enrollment numbers because um director talked about if we gained any students from Phoenix and I don't I don't know what the at the elementary we would have gained them from Phoenix
039but I do know that Liz had said that our numbers are up at the elementary school. So Director Quinny I'd like to give you an official um student enrollment in our September meeting because then we'll then we'll know for sure who actually showed up. Right now they're just on the books because we roll our families over who were here last year and some of them might have left and these families may not have known to register. >> I know. Well, no, I appreciate the question. Just don't have a good answer for you. >> Okay. Uh second thing I want to talk about is um our FFA students and the fair. Uh we had an outstanding fair this year. um uh kids uh sold um let me see if I can get this right. They sold
040beef, hogs, uh they show sold sheep at the fat lamb show, but at the fair they show they showed market goats. I thought that was interesting. And the price of a goat will blow you away. Unbelievable. But I want to give a shout out to our two FFA advisors. Um it's it's a lot of time and a lot of effort u not only preparing for the fair but just then the long days and emotional strain of being at the fair. They did a wonderful job. Our kids um had a great experience. We have four top showmen in different categories and I don't I'll have a better record for you on how all our kids did for our September meeting, but I do know that one of those four ended up winning the grand champion showman
041and that was Audrey Aubrey Murphy. >> Nice. So she cow right? >> Uh she won it and she showmanship and sheep or goats but then they do around. So all the top showmen in their breed categories, they compete against the other top showmen in their breed categories. And that's that's for supreme showmanship. And they do they call that the round robin and they do that on Saturday. So like I said, we have four kids that competed in that property one. And I believe second. Yes. Well, I'll get exactly all that stuff to you. My message tonight is that I wanted you to know that FFA has been a topic at this level, but we had a lot of success at the fair this year and that's a direct result of our adviserss and the effort
042that they put in. >> I saw Ger today and he was headed there. Yes, >> that is so cool. um that fits under our focus area to uh student engagement. Uh the next thing I want to report on is at our last meeting I had talked to you about um the federal funds and the title programs were frozen at that time. they have been released and we have received those funds and so yes exactly and so we do plan on um going forward with the events that those were earmarked I wasn't quite sure what focus area that fit under so >> it's under >> the last thing I want to talk about and um and I don't want it to be last because it's super important I hope you noticed when you came on campus
043today how wonderful for our facilities as well. I want to give a shout out to our maintenance group that's headed by Brent Harvey. Um we have an incredible staff. If something's broke or if something needs um attention, they generally spot it before our principles do. But if our principles spot it, they tell uh Mr. Harvey and it gets done. And we've had a lot of stuff um happen this summer. So, uh, if you get a chance, maybe drive around the back way of campus and just kind of have that lens on. So, I want to give a shout out to our maintenance group and I also want to give a shout out to our custodial group. Um, spent hours making sure that our facilities are ready to go to be presentable to parents last night
044and students and staff coming up. So, uh, I also want to invite you, we are going to actually officially recognize them. that group is um they would be embarrassed if they came to a meeting and I paraded them in front of you. Um but we did invite them for a dessert at the district office and we're going to recognize them and you all are welcome to join us and that's Monday at >> you'll even get a dessert out of the show. >> And with that madam chair I am done. Thank you. And thank you Brent and team. I see you back there. Okay. I guess we don't have Carolyn. Carolyn, I should have said that earlier. Please excuse Carolyn. Uh she had a family um event to attend to today. And uh I know when
045you hired me, you heard from me that family is very important and you all agreed to that. So she asked to be excused tonight and I approve that. >> Okay. Uh individual board member updates or reports. Dan, any updates? I'm kind of curious on the whole O dot debacle and that was talked about at World Cockets LBA conference. So we're curious. >> Yeah, I can Can you hear me? All right. >> Sure. >> Yes, >> I can speak to it a bit. Um so no change uh as of today. Um the uh legislature is going to meet in special session on the 29th discuss uh potential funding package. Um the the funding package is going to be enough if it's complete to prevent layoffs. Um that doesn't restore service. So that's uh there's two different
046things. Um it we've already had multiple rounds of cuts. So uh hopefully legislature puts some cash into the system as well as uh whatever they pass. Um so there's going to be some challenges this winter whether it passes or not. Um but we will know for sure at the next meeting where we stand. >> Okay. Thank you. Any other >> possible reports? >> Just to back up the maintenance folks, it's super cool that we did our own floors and stuff. I don't know if you've been around, but uh it's just cool that we're taking those things on and and it turns out so great. So, just kudos to the maintenance staff who has worked this summer to to take on extra projects and get stuff looking great. It's too bad you're not here. The floor
047is out here in the in the building. >> Yeah, I saw them last week. >> Yeah. So, they're really neat. Oh, and also thank you for watching my having my truck washed, Tammy. I appreciate that. They did a great job. So, that was a great fundraiser. If you didn't see it, there were a lot of kids working hard. Um, it was it was awesome. So, [Music] Thank you, Robert, for tying in um the strategic plan. We talked about this into that document and we really want to bring into that community and also shout out to go to that was a lot of fun. Um, also I I would just say that I talked to like wow look at the school did an excellent job organization um and welcoming everybody in terms of that inclusive environment.
048It was like so much people have been back like this is the first time I've put so it was like wow different I started Uh just a couple of things. It's really reiteration. Uh it struck me, you know, what is being done with the elementary and leadership building with the students there is absolutely amazing. Uh makes me want to get back to elementary school, which I thought I'd never say, but it's like I didn't get to do anything like that. And just the I I can't believe that that isn't a super positive thing for those kids and never going to forget it. So especially seeing Robert get totally cozy water. Uh I want to say thanks again for the efforts into the student handbook. Uh that was a that was a monumental task. Uh and
049uh also for the first electronic device policy, your approach to that is I will speak nothing but accolades about that because I was really slapped that this is just going to be a fight and I think you just took the fight out of it. So awesome job. Uh, and lastly, what you did for the soccer team and getting, you know, that cooperative thing going. That's far as I'm concerned, above and beyond because I know there's too many places like, well, we don't have enough people with them. And so that's thinking outside the box and thinking about the the students first. I can't say enough how great that is. Thank you. Well, I first district I don't know I think the full deal. I mean, I I think that uh I I kind of think it's
050a good deal to have back school. A lot to say about it, but stay back. It's going to help us. Thank you. I too hope everybody had a great summer. Super excited for the new school year. Um let's see my update. I went to the OSBA summer conference and um hosted our world caucus meeting and um I stood up and had something to say about the ODOT cuts and what were we going to do and how is that impacting? Everybody was raising their hands. So no uh we have more rural districts, school districts in Oregon than the bigger ones. So a majority of our school district are rural. So it's really impacting everyone. So um the rural district put forward a letter to the governor um about um and I can provide a a copy
051if y'all want to see it um of kind of what we're expecting in the funding that we would need acknowledgement of the vast distances that we drive and how upkeep of those areas is essential. Um so fingers crossed. Um, also, so our president of the real caucus has decided to take a seat as one of the board members on the OSDA. Um, and so I am probably stepping in as the president of the real caucus. Um so which also um includes me on the LPC still but then also on all the OSBA. So um a little bit more work but it's okay. So that's my update for now and keep you posted and I can if anybody's interested provide the letter that we govern. Thank you. Oh, I do get to go on a retreat
052back to the land. Okay, so I conclude this meeting. Thank you everybody for coming. And now the school board will meet in executive session and it will be held pursuant to OS 192.662I 6602I to review and evaluate the performance of the superintendent as well as OS 192.6602E to conduct deliberations to negotiate real property transactions. So um yeah, so we by and we will reconvene afterwards and let everyone know when we're going back into regular session. is right. And I have Now I've got audio. We're good. >> I'm just Well, first I'll do this and I'll do this. Okay. So, welcome to the continuation of the board meeting. And um so I would annotain a motion to accept the projected calendar for the superintendent evaluation set to occur through um executive sessions scheduled for September, December,
053and February. February being the formal one for the academic calendar year. To make it simple, I I make a motion to as >> Presented. Yes. >> I'll second. Any further discussion? Any discussion on that? Okay. All those in favor of accepting the presented calendar? I >> I >> Okay. Motion passes. Um and then I would like to say that normally we do not recap executive sessions but because um folks um some folks have stayed for the meeting as we came back into regular meeting um that the board would like to say that 5 years ago the Glide School District and Glide Revitalization entered to into a lease agreement and at that time the district supported the community by entering into this agreement.
