001Hi, welcome everybody. We're going to call this meeting to order. So, could you please stand and do the pledge of allegiance with us? Thank you everyone. And I think we're going to start with uh Superintendent Freeman, but also I just want to remind everyone to talk directly into the microphone like kind of feel like you're on top of it because if you're in a Zoom, you cannot hear anything. I have experience firsthand. All right. Well, welcome board members. Um I would also like to give a shout out and welcome to our audience. It's um great to see so many students and families here to celebrate. um our students tonight. Um come in on a beautiful sunny day. I just really appreciate you making the effort. It's important to our students. Uh I would like to
002add a couple things to tonight's agenda. So, first off, um we have educator Kathleen Cole who wants to bring drama to us or she has drama or something about drama. So, if you could put her right after the communications to the board first thing, that'd be great. Uh, and I believe that's it on the changes. Okay. So, I guess Kathleen Cole then, bring us your drama, girl. Hi. Uh, my name's Kathleen Cole and we know each other. So, it's super cool to see all of you. Um, I would just say and it's really nice to see you guys, too. And that is good. So, uh, I'm here to talk about the play. Um, the play is always super exciting. um at least for me um and for the kids who are involved in it. Uh
003right now we have about 20 kids. It's a big show. It's Robin Hood and um you've seen that before and yeah and um and it's definitely worth seeing. I would just say I uh am really really excited about it because I think it's a good story and it's nice to have this many kids who want to be in a play. So, I feel really really excited about it and I feel like it's going to be really awesome. So, the only other thing that I would say is um it performs on the 23rd, so a week from today, the 24th and the 25th. Um it's down at um the stage that I like to call the house that love built. And um because we all love performing there, it's so good. And uh I would just
004say um come on over and see what we got. I will say it's probably two hours easy. Uh it'll start at 7 and it'll be over if we're lucky at 9:15 and that will, you know, mathematically that doesn't really add up, but you know what I'm saying. So there you go. But um but I'm super excited and [Music] wait for task is in the building. You're having a party without me. We've met, right? Nope. You must be thinking of someone different. I'm Forester task, which means I'm like a police officer. For good King John, I'm here to hand out some tickets. I I I happen to have some that you can hand out. Thank you. Okay. Feel like last time you were here, you were going to hand out tickets. Instead, you said citation. Citations.
005I couldn't have said something that wrong. That would have ruined the whole joke. Thank you. There you go. That is you. That's amazing. [Applause] I guess you did bring your drama. Okay, I think we have the elementary student report. Um, Olivia. Hi, I'm Olivia Adele. Thank you for having me tonight. Just a few announcements tonight. The JBC Easter egg hunt is this Saturday at 5:00 p. p.m. at the elementary. We have partnered with the ESD to to host a family steam night on our April 24th in the GES gym. I will be back next month with a report on outdoor school and other great things happening. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Okay, middle school report. We got Lincoln or sorry. Um, okay. Sorry, we got the Lincoln switcheroo. Um, okay. Uh, hi, my
006name is Audrey Odell. I am a seventh grader at Glide Middle School. I will be sharing the middle school student report tonight. The track and field season is underway and Glide athletes are showing the Little Fur League what they've got. The Wildcats hosted the first meet of the season and both the boys and girls team took first place in the relay race. We have great we have a great turnout this year with around 30 athletes and are looking forward to an exciting rest of the season. The week after Easter, we will be doing an Easter egg locker decorating dress up days for the week. Tuesday is Earth Day cahoot and hungry hungry hippos game for our Thursday assembly. We finished up science day testing before the spring and we are now focused on math and
007then we will move on to lingual arts. Finally, tonight we have the latest copy of the Wildcat journal for each of you. We hope you enjoy it. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Okay, I think we're doing the high school report. Noah, hello. You look familiar. Familiar? I haven't been here yet. Yeah. Um, I'm Noah Iikenbush. I'm a senior here at Glide High School and I'm here to do the high school report. Um, baseball and softball started league play on Tuesday. Both teams had a good start to the season in their non-league games once the rain finally let up. It was raining a lot. The baseball team went into league play ranked 11th in the state according to OSA OSAA and the softball team was ranked third. It should be a great season for
008both teams. Glide athletes came out in droves for track and field this year with nearly 50 high schoolers competing for the Wildcats with just a few meets under their belts. Uh Glide High School record two has already have already been broken by freshman Colin Grath. Um breaking the 1974. That's a long time. And as a freshman, he broke it for the long jump. and I believe I was told the 200 as well. So that is awesome, especially from a freshman. Um, we can't see wait to see what the Wildcats can do this year. All six members of the OSET team qualified for state in at least one event. The team will be competing May 8th through 11th at Dashuites County Fair and Expo Center in Redmond. Prom is scheduled for May 3rd at Taran Farm.
009Our theme is once upon a time and we are really looking forward to this event. I got my suit today, so I'm super excited about that. We wanted to say thank you to Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. Damewood for organizing this event along with the many amazing volunteers that are either helping by setting up or donating materials. It is going to be amazing and we couldn't do it without them. FFA will host a plant sale on April 26th and 27th from 8:30 to 2:30 in the greenhouse. A mechanics will be hosting a weld certification test on April 23rd. Local from local professionals from Air Gas will be here to assess and provide initial certifications for our students that demonstrate the industry standard. Our concert band has been competing this spring and I believe this may be
010the first time in years our band has actually been able to compete. They came up just a little shy of state qualifying score, but Mr. Pini is super proud of the band's growth and development this competition season. It's always great to hear them. It's they're they're getting really good. Just a reminder that graduation is Sunday, June 1st at UCCC at 1 p.m. I hope you are able to join us. And that is all I have. Thank you for your time. All right. Thank you. [Applause] And now the moment a whole bunch of you have been waiting for, SP awards time.

He's always asking great questions, making connections, and diving deeper into topics just because he wants to know more. His excitement for learning is contagious, and he's not afraid to think outside the box or tackle tough problems. This kind of curiosity will take him far, not just in school, but in whatever he chooses to do in the future. Congratulations, [Applause] Joe. For seventh grade, Ethan [Applause] Mesale.

And then just as a reminder, um we're going to have a pause and then uh students can come up and get t-shirts and parents, please feel free to come up and help them select the size so that they get the right one. All right, I think we're rolling. and rolling back [Music] on. Okay. So, I think we're looking at um the consent agenda. So, I would entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. I will move to approve the consent agenda as presented.
019I'll second. Okay. Excuse me. All those in favor? I. Okay. Motion passes. And um integrated programs application. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Uh so by statute every year um superintendents need to present to the board uh their plan for spending money through the integrated integrated guidance um funds. And I'll get to that in a minute. This is listed as a discussion, but at the end um I will need a motion to approve our plan and then a second and at that point you can ask questions. I have the two experts sitting in the audience that hopefully if you stump me they can back me up and um then I need you to approve our plan and then we'll put that on our website. behind me right there. All right. Uh so the integrated guidance um was
020OD's attempt to consolidate all the different fund applications that we have to do and I I think they did that but it is a process. Um and we have diligently went through this process with the help of Amy Rose from the ESD. She's actually been a godsend for us. Um Tammy has gone through this several times and she's very intimate with it and um Carrie picked it up right away and um supported this year's plan. The uh integrated application is based solely on our strategic plan and so that's why you see that screen above you. Uh it incorporates four main funds. The EIS so early indicator and intervention systems. the SIA which is the student investment act fund, the HSS which is the high school um success funds and the early literacy grant. Those all
021should be pretty familiar to you as we talk about those all the time throughout the year. For the 2527 bienium, um Glide stands to receive $2.1 million. Uh for 2526 we'll receive $1 million and 2627 will receive $1.2 million. That doesn't add up to 2.1 on the second, not 1.2. I don't know why I wrote that down. Sorry about that. I have lots of experts to help me. Uh so this plan is going just to highlight. We're not going into the weeds. We're going to be very high level on on how we're going to spend those funds. So our first outcome is the early literature literature outcome and that's where we have to spend our money to improve K3 reading. And here we're focusing on high dosage tutoring provided by licensed teachers in small groups.
022And highdosese tutoring is in addition to their regular core instruction. And this is where we'll test students to see where they're at. And if they qualify, then they get extra support to raise their um their reading ability. The next bucket is well-rounded education for all K12 students. This um bucket of money we spend or we focus on college and career readiness activities. Uh and this is also where we can spend money on helping our staff gain skills through professional development. I think we have to wait till a motion. The next bucket of money um outcome is to ensure high quality instruction for all base for all based on student needs. So um on this one, our professional learning is focused on how do we um ensure that our data is quality data um because we
023want to make decisions based on good data and how that data then supports what our instructional practices are. Our next bucket um deals with self self safe and welcoming environment. Um as you are well aware that's been one of our um shining north stars that we've been focused on this year. Uh this these funds help um support that culture uh by um encouraging and growing student engagement and increased activities for family and community involvement. And again, you've heard me talk about how Glide does a really good job of including kids with um extracurricular activities and involving our community in different activities. Our next outcome is uh focused on maintaining and exceeding nth grade um on track. Glide has a very strong reputation of ensuring that our kids are on track to graduate. Um this is
024a a great indicator on how students are going to do. If we know in ninth grade that students are on track, um the likelihood of them graduating is ex is a lot higher than if they're not on track. If they're not on track, then we need to make sure that we have supports in place to help them. And those supports include credit recovery instructor. Um it funds tutors to help struggling students and then um it ensures access to wide variety of extracurricular activities. Uh you've heard me talk a lot about the um relationship between extracurricular activities and doing well in school. And our last bucket that we're going to present tonight is increased academic and experience-based opportunities for 9th through 12th grade students. Uh this is where you you'll see money spent on our CTE
025programs and our steam classes. It expanded options in all academic areas including CTE and then our college and career tour opportunities. So that is my presentation and so with that um if you would make a motion to accept that and a second then we can get into questions. So I'll move to accept integrated program administration application. I'll second it. Any questions, discussion? I have questions. So what percentage goes for you? Okay. I uh I don't know if we can we'd have to run the numbers. Okay. Okay. And and so what we're I I guess I just also have questions about this. We're approving application, but I don't know what's in the application. So the application is just what I read to you. So that So do you do you want to know the exact dollar
026amount? Well, I have curiosity about like what is the breakdown of like in each category. We're going to invest this amount of that overall amount or does it not Yeah, I guess I'm just trying to figure out the I mean I feel like keep talking your question. Yeah, I guess I'm I'm feeling like I we're given approval for that application, but I just know like broad categories of what you're putting in that application. So, I don't know what's been done in the past, but that just feels like normally I would be like given here's the application that we're submitting. I I don't know. I don't remember this before. Maybe I'm just Yeah. So, okay. I thought last year I did buckets also because what this is so the last bium bianium was 2325 and it's
027a different process when we're at the beginning of a new bienium so now we're in another new bienium 2527 we do do a report each year but this is a different this is the actual reporting on the application that we're submitting for the 2527 bianium so maybe it would help to so We're approving the district to apply for monies, grants that uh can be approved or denied at varying rates. So, the application um while we don't see the actual paperwork is the application, we're what we're saying is the district wants the the board wants the district to pursue these monies that are going to go to these things with an unknown amount of exact dollars that are coming in and they'll trickle down to these areas, these targets. So we we can certainly print off
028the budget part of the narrative and send to you. Yeah, I I I am fine with that like you know the categories and what's in them. It just seems unusual to approving a a just for me an application without like and here's what that looks underneath it. It may just be okay. Okay, that makes much more sense to you. Yeah. Yeah, the outcomes and strategies and then the budget is listed on our website. If you go to um about us and then public records, it's listed under um integrated programs. Okay. I didn't know that. Okay. Okay. I I guess I was tied up in the application and worsen approving something that sounds like we're going after certain funding and we're not really what those categories of funding are. So, it sounds like we're getting the
029funding. We're just we're saying like here's what we're going to spend that funding on. So, thank you. Yes. Is that right? Right. So, there's there's four different pots of money. That's one of the acronyms that I shared with you. We get funded under all four of those. We have to through um community input, working with our staff, um working with our students, we come up with a plan on how we're going to what our objectives are and then how we're going to meet those objectives and that's what I shared with you. It's awesome. Those are to spend the $2.1 million. Yeah, those are strategies of what I heard. They weren't tied to like I didn't see like what the outcomes of that like increase this by this percent or any of that. Okay. What mechanisms
030are we using for measuring success in these? How are we going to know if we're improving? I I know it's a big question. I know how I'd answer it. One of the strategies on there was um PLC studies. And so I'll speak to all of you right now. The high school is working on this as well. But um so PLC's are groups of teachers that work together that use student data and it's not student data from assessments that happen just three times a year. It's assessments that are happening continuously in our classrooms and they meet regularly to use that information to plan and guide their instruction. So they're making sure that every student in our school receives core instruction and those that aren't receiving that core or understanding or need extra help with that core
031instruction are provided immediate intervention for that. And then on the flip side of that students that are met that what's next man we're enriching that for them too. So, those are ways that we're tracking student data to make sure that we're moving that envelope and making sure our kids are when they get to him ready for his next step with the college and the career, right? Yeah. And then the answer is I I knew the process. I knew I knew you were going to go down that road and and that's important to say because that's that is the point of the program is it's it's real time. I'm just stop me if I'm wrong. It's It's good because this puts money into programs that are real time and they capture kids who are falling behind
032and it's fun to it's fun to watch the elementary school in particular come around groups of kids and take the different staff and say, "Okay, um Jimmy is, you know, excelling here. Joey's needing some help here. Okay, we can help him. Let's get Joey a little more over here. Let's get Jimmy some extra over here. And it just caters for a best better educational outcome for each individual. Is that fair? Yes. And what I'd say is like we're um really deepening our understanding of that. And so that's some of that extra professional development, but um Mr. Freeman has allowed me to be super creative with blending our funds. And so we've used our title 2 money to be able to provide um for a trainer that's come down and um provided training for our whole
033staff. Right now I have I'm building my guiding coalition which is helping us roll out the PLC structure at the elementary school and we're attending a um PLC academy. So, it's a six day intensive thing. We're like the next three months. Well, we're finished with day three and four this week. Five, six time, but it's pretty intense and really good stuff and I can't wait to see what it's going to be for students. Awesome. Any more discussion or questions? All right. All those in favor pass on the motion. Okay. Motion motion passes. Okay. Um, do we have any comment cards? I didn't see any. So, um, okay. policy revision seemed to be interesting conversation last time. Uh this is a different policy. Oh. Um I prematurely turned my mic off. Uh this is the second
034reading on policy JCAA and this is the educator ethics policy that um I presented to you last time as a recommended policy from OSBA. But um if you recall, I talked about how it is a standard for TSPC. It's in statute. This would just be another location that um that educators can go to if they have questions about um educator ethics. Okay. This is a second reading, so it be for adoption. Okay. Um, so I would um entertain a motion to adopt the policy GCAA as presented. I move to adopt policy GCAA as presented. Second. Uh, any discussion or questions? Just one question that we did and the staff had an opportunity to look through all this had chance to look at this policy as well. No red flags came up to anybody. Well, it
035was it was available. It was announced last month. assuming if there was an issue straight off the state. Okay. All those in favor? Motion passes. Superintendent Freeman. Yeah, I got a couple things. Um, first one is super exciting. Uh, I look around the room and I know a lot of you um enjoy going to Friday Night Lights football games at Glide, watch the Wildcats and um as many of you know um we have a certain spots on the field that really work for our advantage where there's um no lights shining there. So, we run somebody to the shadows and toss them the ball and well, we're going to change all that. um principal Dwight uh and his team looked into um what it would cost and some different ways to get new lighting for our
036football/Ttrack facility and they were able to secure some pretty cool stuff that I'm excited to share with you uh through working with a local contact. Many of you probably know Brian Evans who works for Plaid Electric. Um I don't know if any of you know uh Central Electric. Is that Ted Hobgood? Ted Hobgoods um business out of Southerntherland. Uh they came and met with us. They've worked um Brian has worked with um Energy Trust um gurus um to work with school districts in particular and he was able to secure us some exciting funding. So the overall cost to replace our lights was $71,000. uh we couldn't afford a 70,000 $71,000 hit in our um budget, but uh Brian through his people were able to secure $48,500 through Senate Bill $1149. And then we have submitted
037another grant through the energy trust incentive for another $16,550. If we were to get both, well, we know for sure we're getting the first one, the Senate Bill 1149. We we qualify for that and that's our allocated funds. What we're waiting on now is to hear back on the energy trust incentive of $16,500. If we get both of those, then that would be around $6,300 out of the district to have incredible lights for our football track facility. Even if we don't get the incentive um 16,000 that's still $23,000 to upgrade our light system. Um I could get I could go into a whole list of thing but utmost is probably safety around that facility. Um and um just the safety part of it, the the amount of savings that we'll experience to do that um
038over a period of time it will pay for itself. Um Ted Hopka the electrician talked about how the our current lights which are obsolete. We can't even find them um now. And how many are out right now? Wow. Yeah. So we're anticipating another handful to be out the next time we turn them on. And you we can't replace them. So um I can't remember exactly the wattage, but I want to say our current lights draw like 250 watts or something like that. and the new lights draw like 20. Like it's super significant the less amount of energy that it's going to take to really light up our facility. We're also looking at lighting um around the bleachers, the concession area and parking lot too or I know there was some other lights that we're putting
039in for safety features. Let me clarify that we're not lighting this. There's actually a computer program that does that. Oh, that's cool. That maps it out. Uh, so just to clarify, we are not lighting the baseball softball facilities. We are shining lights out in that direction for supervision. So, um, right now when kids are back there during games, it's hard to supervise because we can't see. So, we are going to shine lights that direction. Not to the extent that you could run a night game. Does that help? Yep. Well, that's exciting. World according to Robert is we would have alt turf fields and a new uh clubhouse facility and all kinds of stuff. So, yes. All right. So, that's uh that's my most exciting news. I did want to you kind of heard it alluded
040to tonight. Our sixth grade is currently at Camp Myrtlewood. Um, Camp Myrtlewood is just out of remote motorbridgeidge somewhere over somewhere out there in the middle of nowhere and uh, they're returning home tomorrow. Um, the sixth grade teachers were really excited about this group. They're they're an incredible group of kids and inquisitive. Last year, I know Tammy and I visited on a day just to see what was going on and lots of great learning happening out there. So, uh, if you get a chance, thank our sixth grade teachers for their willingness to do that. So that's all I have. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Monday financial report. So you guys have your financial reports and I'm um real happy with where we're at. We're on target with our revenue and expenditures. So that's all good.
041Um and then I just wanted to remind everybody that we have a budget meeting on April 28th at 6 PM. So, I'm happy that we have a full budget committee now and hope to see everybody on April 28th. I think we're going to be down one person that meeting. Did Bob Murray send you right? Yeah. All right. Thank you. Uh individual board members. Yes. Uh first thing is last Wednesday they had being a professional leader. They did. I oddly enough person I had in first place didn't win. I don't know why that was but guess I wasn't professional but uh no it was really it was really quite enjoyable and and the kids come in. I don't know if the entire school gets to go in after they were after we were done. Is that
042the way it works? All the high schools got to come in. Yes. And they they went in there like they cleaned it up. So that's awesome. Yes. It was it was a good time. I really enjoyed it. Probably see if I can get that job anyway. Yeah. Pretty good job as far as jobs go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody had to do it. Yes. There we go. Yeah. And and then Noah saying there was 50 kids out the track and I don't I don't know how many out baseball and excited about the kids doing the extracurricular activity of the band. Must be huge [Music] also. I like Yes. Yeah. Yes. So I I really like to see that. So I think on our you know the entire school what we did earlier and getting kids involved
043is pretty good and that's kind of how we get judged back those things. It's like kids moral work. Um and then uh the 5th of May we're leaving so I will miss the budget meetings after then and I will not make May's uh school board meeting. I might have something overly needs a tough decision. be sure not to tune in. Um, we are going to travel back to Maine, so we will be gone, but we will be back before graduation. Well, that sounds like fun. Yes. If I want an Atlantic lobster, I want to go back there and get myself. Yeah. Uh, basically, I guess, uh, that's about it. Um, and then I did want to know how many seniors do we have this year? Oh, yeah. Graduating. 47. You push him a little. Okay.
044All right. That's all I have. Cool. Thank you. Just to go up what John said. I was screwing up. You said the 15. I came up with about 130 kids. I guess on baseball and softball and band and then drama. I don't know about that six or seven. So it's all the chunk of the population of the school to 140 kids are involved in the bank. There's 34 out for baseball. I went with 15. So yeah. So it's awesome. Big numbers. [Music] Um, so talking about baseball, I do want to shout out and acknowledge um, and I want on the record that I really appreciate Carrie. I was down at cuz again my son is assistant coach and I was down at the field and you were down there um powerwashing all of the bleachers
045and so I just want to I I mean I just think that that not only showed the kids and because my son was like I thought that was the principal but I wasn't sure and and so then I I pointed you out and he's like yeah that was him. he was down there and the kids were talking about it and they so again they they saw that too and the kids talked about it and so um I will also say though that a lot of them didn't show up for the field day and they're using that as an opportunity also to talk with the kids about it's not just about playing it's also about you know you show up and you help contribute and clean up the fields and so there was a lot of
046I think really great modeling that you did so I wanted to shout that out. Exactly. Yeah. [Music] Yeah, that's great. Um, and I did I also yeah I just was thinking just like what an incredible amount of students that we have engaged in a lot of different activities which I think is amazing and it contributes to the culture and I read that band email and dang like wow what I was just like so impressed with all of the things that were being considered and so I don't know how many are going to go forward but wow and to engage the parents and like we want you to you know have a conversation about what would be best for your students. So again, I was just very impressed by that and thank you for also including
047us in those emails because it really helps me feel like I'm connected. I know what's going on. I can also talk to other people about it and say, "Oh, and by the way, did you know?" And um so that is just really great. So looking forward to seeing Noah at the play. I will be there. All I got to say is this is a great place and it's the people in this room that have made that happen and the people that were here earlier too and I'm tickled and glad to come every time. Get glad I get to come. Um, I just wanted to thank our three board members for being brave enough to run for another term. Um, super grateful. I feel like we have a a really good board right now, but um,
048everybody's got different perspectives and I think that's what makes us really healthy. Um, so thank you for especially you. you've been in it for so long and you must have been like so thank you so much. Um, also just an update, I'm going to lobby day next week in Salem on the 24th. Um, representing the Rural Caucus for the Oregon School Board Association and we're um we're keeping track of some of the measures that are being pushed through. um some of them are a little concerning that are still in movement right now that would be an extra burden on smaller districts.
