001hey we're gonna call this meeting to order at 6m and I G do a roll call real quick Robert is GNA be showing up late Merl here Heidi here Glenn here Kelsey here Jenny's here Crystal she should be dialing in but we'll go ahead and continue with the flag Loop II to the of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liy and justice for all he first um work session item is attendance matters and chronic abs and use of response yeah so back in SE I went back and had to go back and figure out what date it was I think it was September 30th uh our vice principal came before you to present to you their ideas and plan for addressing the

002concerns we had that we had and have around chronic absenteeism and so they have done some amazing work throughout the fall and winter that I'm excited for them to share with you and so I will I don't know you guys want to scoot up or how you guys want to do this or just from right there I'll come to the table so their presentation and you've already had a copy of it is about uh five or so slides about hey Dan can I interrupt you for a minute all I see is a zoom screen that will be correct because you're sharing the screen so that like um the only thing that would change that is Crystal you might be able to change your settings so that the speaker you can see like the speaker aspect

003of it so if okay there you go thank you so about Midway through their presentation there they have a a data spreadsheet and after they're done explaining that to you I think that might be a good point in the meeting just to kind of pause and ask questions about how they how how those processes run because I'm very impressed with it and I'm just expecting you to be very impressed with it too so with that I will no pressure no pressure all right uh I'll turn it over to our team there good evening everyone um for our attendance presentation tonight to start off with um a couple of our slogans that we're using this year and we do a lot of work around attendance matters with which is a Statewide program around attendance um we

004incorporate some of their elements with regards to what we do on a monthly daily basis you go to the next our slogan this year um for attendance is be here be awesome we want all students to be here every day because they're awesome and so if we look at our historical data you saw the slide last time in September we just updated it with our current numbers for this current school year 2425 as you can see there that says there the co years aren't available so you'll see a gap um in the data there um with regards to and I I'll just start off with the elementary with the primary as you can see um few years ago we were at 40% and we've gotten all the way up to 68% here so far this

005year and we I predict that number will increase um before the end of the year we're seeing a trajectory up with regards to that percentage here at the primary school and similar to the intermediate well we've we've gone up 10% since 2122 only gone up 2% since last year but it's still an increase and again we expect U those numbers to continue to increase um by by the end of the year and that percentage is percentage of regular attend so this the students who are um attending 90% or more of the school area the middle school is sitting at 69% right now um trending upwards will it'll probably continue that way just right now we're in the thick of cold and flu and all the germ season um so once we get out of that

006in Spring I know that that's going to increase even more and high school's also seen some growth we're just almost to 5% um I do remember also when we presented in September we didn't have last year's data either we were a couple days away from it so that's been updated as well but that positive growth all the way around um up to about 68% districtwide from 62% last year and I think one of the the statistics to really point out here is that primary because we've talked about how this is just about there's a lot of habit forming behaviors that we're trying to to implement here and so when you get those Primary students going from 55% regular attenders to 68% regular attenders we're starting create really good habits at the primary level so really

007want to emphasize that point all right okay so this is the spreadsheet um that we use so this is an example from the middle school but every school has a spreadsheet just like this that um we use in our attendance teams so this has every single student in the Middle School on it um and and we keep kind of a running attendance rate from year to date so every year every two weeks when we meet we add another column and that's their updated percentage for what their attendance is for the year um so we keep some basic information on there like their home room teacher their advisory teacher um Spanish speaking or things like that so we know when we're sitting in our attendance team when we're dividing up who's going to contact and how

008we're going to contact um we have that information readily available so we don't have to spend time searching for it um and then it we just track interventions so what you can't see as the spreadsheet goes farther um every two weeks we have intervention columns like those columns repeat so that we can kind of see what we've done and then what we're going to do moving forward so if things are trending up then we kind of change the interventions if they're getting worse then we get more severe interventions in terms of like home visits and things like that um and then we can track who's responsible um and then once those contacts have been made um the person responsible goes back in and puts in notes of like information they found out that would be

009helpful for us to help and if we need to connect them with some sort of support that we don't know we didn't know prior that they needed or um if there was like an illness or something that was you know something we just didn't know were a family vacation and they hadn't called to let us know they were leaving anything like that we can put it in there so we know that for the next two weeks um if things change or don't change things like that anything any questions on the spreadsheet I I don't know if it's so much a question just a comment like I can't impress how commendable having an obvious blueprint going forward I mean these are these are movements in the right direction in every building um and that's to me

010that's super impressive compared to where we came from um I I mean and I would include everybody in admin from you with the at the top to you know everybody who's had a hand in this because um obviously it's been a really focused and kind of deliberate effort um and great job and obviously we're the representatives of that but yeah it's our counselors our secretaries our hom School contacts um yeah teachers I mean it really spands the gamut of all of our staff participating in this and helping those improvements happen and I think what's uh really impressive having attended most of their meetings throughout the fall that I really want to highlight is their ability to uh what I would call Touch every student especially at the primary and intermediate level where you know I

011I don't know Michael the first couple of meetings you know an hour maybe talking about 10 students and then by December January they were able to cover 90 students in like 40 minutes to be able to because they have data to tell them are is the student trending in the right direction okay yes okay we'll see how they are in two weeks no what are we going to do now and they've got all this infrastructure built in to where they can drop down and go okay so who's going to call because it's trending in the wrong direction and so the systems there so where they can go through um especially at those younger levels and I think at the older two students level now they can prioritize a little bit better so if for example

012if you're at high school and let's say you're at 80 % attendance you so there's there's going to be more students to maybe try to troubleshoot so where do we spend our time so maybe now there's a separate secondary data to say well if they're 80% in passing all their classes let's focus on 80% and not passing classes so that there's a little bit more strategic intervention happening at the middle and high school but it's in part because you have this data sitting right in front of you telling you which direction to go so so I and they created all of this so they just did an amazing job of pulling this data together maybe a little bit of frustration with how we get the data to fill and you know uh a little bit

013of work in progress but yeah great job how do you have something to say yeah um when you say the person responsible who is that in a lot of cases uh it depends on the situation our counselors have a lot of conversations with kids um I in our building for the middle school I have individual meetings with students that are anywhere between like 70 and 80% attendance when that's their average we kind of meet together um if they're Spanish speaking or we know they might have some hardships um our family at our family Advocate is the one that builds that connection with them and has those conversations sty and I will split um kids whatever's left over um but on here it says Like Home Room teacher is it is it ever a teacher or

014is it usually at a at a different level it depends that's information for us to have in terms of like um so when we look at that really quick I know which ST which teachers are special education teachers and have certain students in their home room so that tells me right away what sort of picture I'm looking at that I might not already know um and then looking at like there's times when we do reach out to Home Room teachers and say what have you noticed about this student have they communicated anything that we don't know especially if we're having a hard time getting P at home or anything like that and they can help us in that way and Elementary three Lear exactly L with regard to how we approach it and who who

015is kind of the person respons or that action depending on it's a lot of times most of the time an administrator and a counselor will go do home visits we need to teach generally and so responsibilities like that I just add that sometimes it's yeah who has that best relationship maybe the student or the family um you know some our teachers been around a long time and really know the family um or where else can we lever like it might be somebody from the committee making that contact home but we might lean on a coach or a Home Room teacher or something to have a conversation with a kid maybe learn a little bit more any other questions about the spreadsheet I like data great all right all right so kind of what is working

016one thing that we did uh fairly recently was that we shared each of our spreadsheets across all of our teams um and the real reason we saw the need for that was we got students across multiple buildings and sometimes those patterns are the same maybe within the family but sometimes they're not I can think of a case where got a high school student whose attendance percentage is fairly significantly lower than their middle school siblings and so that helps us know like something's different with their scenario it's not necessarily just the bus or some those kind of things so that's helped a lot just to be able to know and for us to even collaborate across um that and coordinate so they're not getting three phone calls maybe it's like hey one level can kind of

017call the family share that information across the board um so some major things happening of course it's just that increased partnership with families um even maybe where there's not growth for individual students in their attendance we learning more we're starting more conversations we're opening that door and building that partnership uh so sometimes it is maybe a a health an underlying health issue we didn't know about and that helps us a understand why their attendance is there but also support my they need on the days they are there um so you know those are a few of those you guys can obviously jump in and just you know the process is working you you've seen the results it's getting there we're getting a lot more efficient and effective as superintendent Bush said you know we're going

018to be that much better in position as the year goes on and starting fresh next year as well kind of jump in right away in September we built the system this year got one more slide yeah uh so you know moving forward things that we're still considering or needs um know we are still seeing a potential for some alternative programs for students where that traditional one siiz fits most school system doesn't work for all and so you know we don't know what that looks like what that could be but we know there is a need there uh there's an ongoing need we do have a number of students and families that talk about mental health obstacles being what's keeping them from school just not feeling well enough to be here not just physically but emotionally

019um I would be able to work with our counselors that's great but where do we have some resources with our counselors our hom School contacts to maybe help families navigate getting support outside of school or within the school system um and wellness supports kind of ties right into that and you know trying to think about some of those CommunityWide campaigns that something we just talked about our last meeting I you have a little more to add to that well your right now would be be here be awesome as we work to get kind of signage in place and some of that promotion material with regards to the slogan we do send Flyers out um seasonally on a regular basis and especially coming up here in spring for that kind of end of the year push

020as well that's part of the CommunityWide campaign but moving forward we'll also need to address it on a kind of a larger scale um so to speak more District wide in Community Wide thank you Rob Robin Robert you kind of came in in the middle but any thoughts about good jum wow um no thank you Marl I had a little trouble hearing but U it looked good to me it I agree that we're doing the right thing and it's working and going the right direction he yeah um appreciative and impressed with this thanks it's it's obvious that uh ducks are getting in a row and things are moving forward and it's really great to see I do have a question um how does this affect our funding um if somebody is a partial attender and

021uh you know do do we get less money if they're a partial attender or um if their FTE is less than one so they High School there's seven periods so if they go three periods or less then we would only get a half of an ft if that's how they're slated if they're supposed to be here and they're coming here and there we still get the full amount it's when they are unenrolled for 10 days or more on the 11th day we have to take them out and then we don't get funding until they get live okay that's it and that 11th day can be like one day here two days there when it comes to 10 days no consecutive okay all right I should that what a lot different things I guess just looking

022ahead to The Next Step I'm assuming this program that you built it's obviously working um but it's going to Plateau out at a certain level uh is there plans to kind of maintain that same level of intensity or or is there plans to Sunset maybe that's not a question for you guys but so I mean the part I would answer is not this Sun said it but kind of like superintendent Bush said where do we maybe get more intentional with some different data points again your attendance is here you're passing everything versus not or there's some other factors like that we might consider as we think about the intensity of the support and intervention but we're still going to continue to meet regularly throughout the year we're not going to stop any attendance team meetings

023yeah so that's that's a good thing it seems like a good thing to me so ksey it's awesome yeah I think it's awesome I like the the underlying context of like I see you see parents I see you're not gonna hide yeah great job thank you Crystal do you have any questions no I'm good I'll interrupt all right thanks guys appreciate it all right I told Linda that she didn't have to move out from uh behind the computer so we're kind of gonna just be like this and so uh we wanted to uh at every meeting every work session give you an update of of where we're at in terms of budget timelines and decisions so this is a a excerpt from the presentation you've seen before and so um I will cover uh the

024first two and then hand off to to Linda from there so we have completed our staff meetings they did have to get rescheduled because of the inclement weather and so we finished with the high school and primary uh on last Thursday versus the 13th so we finished those on the 20th um really want to appreciate the staff members for understanding that we're delivering a tough message they asked tough questions but they were very kind they were very uh considerate and and they you know ask you know what could we be doing and so you know really uh a credit to to our our staff um we have finalized the seniority lists we did have uh some corrections to make with classified staff that uh I think are ready to go now and if we kind

025of get the if we get a a go- ahead from the licensed staff we'll Pro we'll be making those public this week I would anticipate so once we uh make sure that all the information is accurate to the best of our knowledge just so when you finalize that do you give it to the union first do you just send it out at the same time as you give it to the union or so we've we we've shared it with the union and we're very thankful we've done that they've found some things they've asked some questions uh they've collected data over the years to say hey we think of this one might you might be wrong here on this one and so it's allowed us to do have another set of eyes another double check on

026it I think we got the green light from classified today after making some corrections I will check with you andmy tomorrow barwing any you know requests questions or Corrections we would then make it available and we will also be sending it to our administrators first we want to get the corrections done so those steps are of done and so Linda do you want to take from there yes and like Dan said um the the classified did share with their executive team today right after school and they're okay with everything so that one is done and ready to go but we'll send them out together when we get the license P um we had hoped when we were talk going around and having our staff meetings that maybe we could get a finalized list of staff

027to be retained by March 7th I'm not seeing that as being a final final list we might get a list out by March 7th of cuts we are sure of but won't be final there's a too many moving pieces um the state school fund um number should be To Us by Monday March 3 which is a big day for us for everybody in the state as to how much we believe we'll get for our state school funding and that will then I can compare to what I thought it might be to what they're saying it will be and see if we go up or down or stay about the same or where we're at with that um I'm going to remind you again that when I used the estimator it had last year's carve outs

028and we don't know what this year's carve outs are going to be for that and it could change everything we also used an estimated amount of a of students basically admw and if that fluctuated it a lot by the estimates that other districts put in that's going to change everything too so you know we could have a swing of couple hundred thousand one way or the other easy so we're we're really holding I'm holding I'm kind of holding my breath I'll die if I hold it till then um I you know there myself and many other business managers in the state are really looking forward to getting a number we do have a little bit of nose that feels that it's going in the right direction for us so there's a couple Senate bills um

029or house bills that are going through for high cost disability and for special education caps and they are moving forward the uh special education cap where we get 11% of our special education cost an additional amount um they'd like to move that up to 15 and it has passed one place I don't remember where I don't remember where it's moving in the right direction and so that's a really good thing they're talking about putting a additional 200 million into the high cost dis ility amount that we get but they're not well let me go back the first amount that's different money not your state school fund money the high cost disability they haven't told us if it's a carb out State School fund or not but they're looking for another 200 million that would bring

030up our reimbursement rates to around 80% with the numbers they know right now versus if we don't get it about 30% of our costs so it's huge if we could get a share of that it's not going to be probably not even $100,000 but it's money so it'll it'll help no matter what it is um the other thing is that um there is have been some meetings that have been positive about the pur rates there's a bucket of money of about between 160 and 170 million the number changes every time I talk to somebody that may be dispersed for this vium only to school districts to bring their Purge rates down they wanted originally they wanted to spread it spread it out over 10 years or more and we said well then okay so we

031all got $58 what's the point so when they said okay what if we did for the bium now they are in talks with mum the actual aerial um perers and all that the issue with that is that it it takes an amendment to a bill and that would not be known until the end of May so again you know could be good news but it really won't know um so is that like a onetime buy down just a one time okay yeah yeah so we'll see uh they told us it could be up to 1.6% reduction but everybody's different because of side accounts and our Guru in the state Carol Samuels believes that's way too high that she doesn't think that at all so we're waiting on that one can't get too excited about that

032one the first revenue forecast for the state not the first but the February one is coming out this week on Wednesday that's not the deciding one because another one comes out in May but those are pretty big we're all watching those closely because they have a new company doing this a new person doing this and they're doing it completely different than where they've been done the way it's been done before the governor and the legislature are tired of all the Kickbacks and their um rebates and so they're trying to be closer well when you are closer that also means the fluctuation can go the other way pretty easily so we're waiting to see where those go too um I think that's all I have did I miss anything um we well I'll finish then the

033rest of this life we have told everyone about the purchase order cut offs that's really for general fund money if there's grant money to be spent then they'll continue buying but it will really slow down what is happening in the general fund which is what we want to St up so we can save some money um and we're having our um talks with the unions as G said we have a meeting with the classified on Wednesday at so we're going to get started with negotiations also talk about Theus we have on the table right now and see if they voted and whether they're out with those [Music] things there is some negative Bills going through that could affect us um and we're hoping that they get stalled and don't pass what they're to do with

034substitutes um there's one that says that substitutes can get medical insurance and they can call out their home District so if somebody thinks North Maran is pretty good they could if they sub for us at all the prior year then they could it's just a ridiculous R we've put in our two cents worth into why we think it doesn't make any sense at all our third party does offer health insurance benefits um there's a couple in the state that do if you have enough hours so we're not sure where this is coming from so well we know where it's coming from we just don't know why they want to do that so that one could be pretty negative um what's the other one oh the other one is just the process if you want to

035use a third party and putting more red tape into it than means so I think that's everything any questions for Dan I'll start with Crystal do you have any questions on this no I think I'm okay so when will we so we're EXP Ed to see the final list in the end of March is that what I'm hearing which list is far as the Staffing reductions yeah I would not give a final date on that one probably you know maybe early April if we won I mean obviously we what we've been saying to people is to staff is accuracy is really important right and also trying to get uh staff notified if there is to be a layoff so I think that second one may actually in some ways be a little bit tougher because

036then you're starting to get down to you know is is that enough of a reduction I don't know if you would agree with that Linda yes I think you know phase one could be out um by midm March but after that not sure when the next phase would go out and one of the things that that you might find confusing and Dan has explained this to the staff is about the March 15th deadline for contract renewal versus if you're on the cut list you go into that yes I read your email on that so I don't need an explanation on email have to staff so I think we're all good there okay so so when exactly is the last day that staff will be notified do we have that no I no all right thanks

037no I'm good thanks KL no question no okay the only thing I will just you know I think that little part about the sped and the pur pieces to this is the fact that uh some of that changed uh definitely changed between the 10th and the 20th and in some cases it changed between the 20th meeting at at 7:00 and the 20th meeting at 3:30 where you know as the legislature is turning out and we get you know I presented L Linda information at 710 on the morning of the 20th and then she had an update to it that afternoon so it's this ever moving piece of you know uh whenever the legisl legislature is in session so all right so uh I think it's always a little interesting to prepare and a pre-evaluation report

038here so what I've tried to do is uh because Crystal did share with me the form that you've been provided with that is I think so Crystal yes no I saw a confused yes it's I have it ready to email right now the reason why I haven't emailed it out quite yet was I wanted to make sure they saw the superintendent pre-evaluation report before completing the form so got it literally I'm pressing the send in about five minutes perfect okay all right so so the there's I believe eight standards that osba has and so what I've tried to do is because there's so much educational verbage in in this stuff and so I've tried to kind of break each standard down for you um in terms of at least how I read that so if

039you look and I'm not going to read every one of these slides so I'm going to be skimming through some of this so I'll I'll walk you through a few and then we'll start skimming all right so if we go to the second slide well no one more I got one more thing to say so Teamwork Makes the Dream work because no super that does all eight of these standards uh it takes their entire team which I have my awesome teammates here and so you might I might come you might come across something let's say it's budget we you're like Dan we know you don't do that yeah right Linda does or some of the slides around student achievement and yeah Dez does a lot of that or talking about attendance you saw some areas

040of improvement there so I do want to emphasize that this is really the work of a lot of people not just me I can't do all eight of these things at all um so this really is about what the team does all right so on this so Visionary District leadership is one of the standards and so again with because I don't want to read every single slide here so we get to a standard then I took three bullets and this is me trying to synthesize what Visionary leadership looks like uh when you get the this the the form from Crystal I kind of synthesize these down to collaborative process with the board diverse stakeholder input and implements Improvement plans and communicates progress so that's how I synthesized Visionary leadership and so as we move through

041these a lot of these you've seen before this is so this is me presenting evidence under Visionary um District leadership so we talk about our theory of action you saw me talk about at the beginning of the year finishing strong simplifying our action plans and with plans that are emphasized on if the adults do then the kids will so there's so throughout this is me trying to give evidence so the next one so we talked about integrated plan metrics where these are the areas these are our goals around regular attenders third grade math and and so on so this is again all evidence for you under Visionary District leadership um another one of these examples would be the superintendent Advisory workg Group so uh which is related to the superintendent advisory work group for Equitable

042experiences and outcomes so it's a mouthful um and that's just an excerpt from the application that people complete to be part of that group so um and next slide so an example of implementing Improvement plans would be our attendance teams so we've heard about that tonight where not only did we have a plan then we brought it back to continue to update the board on how we're doing on the areas where we're focusing uh areas of improvement so that's standard number one all right standard number two ethical and professional Norms now this is kind of an interesting one in terms of here's I'll just tell you what I believe you are either going to believe me to be ethical and professional or you don't and then we have other problems so I don't I'm I

043did not provide evidence of that you are hopefully either seeing that through my communication through what I do I did not even attempt to try to bring evidence of that to you because that just felt weird and so hopefully if there are issues there you're bringing them to my attention all right inclusive District culture um there's how I synthesize that that's still quite a mouthful um but those are the how I synthesize that that particular standard and uh we'll go to the next slide so when we when we talk about um you know really looking at opportunities and resources for the well-being of each student that was one of the sub bullets on the on the previous slide we're really looking at data to make sure how do we compare to other people with all

044these different populations of students that we have so part of this is this is how you ensure the well-being of every student is when you look at how you're doing why don't we go to the next slide yeah can I see something yeah you know I've this is the first time I've ever seen a graphic like a a graph like this with this this kind of information comparing us to other do school districts the way you put this together and it was you know I've been around a while and it was very interesting to me yeah well about Glen yeah who knows to Dez uh for helping put some of this together uh so the next slide so now you've got some comparisons so it's really important to say so how are we doing in

045comparison to these other districts and then sometimes um people will you know people like to discredit data and so when you can say no these districts are just like us then you can kind of go there's no reason why our students can't perform at these levels so um so that's just to me when we talk about inclusive District culture examining this kind of data is how we determine whether the well-being of students are getting better in our disint uh next slide and understanding it's a process not a destination so part of this is so these are the works we are doing I think you you've seen this I think I does have we shared this slide with them before no this no okay so this is a little bit of an update on what we're

046doing so we're really trying to focus on building the data literacy of our principles so how do we look at data and make sense of it that's a big focus of our work we're trying to align our systems attendance teams is a perfect example of that Implement consist use of data for next school year uh we're continuing to train and support on new materials and ongoing professional development for math instruction fourth standard instructional leadership and Improvement and these are the three areas that I synthesize those down into instructional leadership professional development assessment data and Analysis now this is all information you've seen before so this is this is really an example of assessment data collection and analys Anis so these are all slides and Linda you can kind of just kind of keep on scrolling

047through these of data that I've shared with you that we are looking at to see how are we doing and these are all related to our goals when we had talk about third grade reading or 8th grade math or graduation rates or attendance those are all examples of that so this is just me sharing evidence with you all right do I need to slow down all right all right number five communication and community relations is the fifth standard and again there's some sub bullets there that fall under that uh next slide this is where I do get a little just a little bit more wordy and just trying to give you some examples of that so communication community relations we've got youth truth we've got frequent communication with staff and Community um I will say
