You want to say delicious? >> Great. Anything else? And students. Okay. Uh, next is accentuate positive. >> Good evening everybody. I'm Sha Schl, principal here at Phoenix Elementary School. And I feel like I'm going to be talking a lot, so I'm just going to go real quick. It's of course the time of year where we're just wrapping a lot of things up and we have a lot of things to celebrate. So, I want to
004share that last week we had our Is this working? >> Uh, is the green light on? >> It is. >> Uh, should be. >> Okay, great. So, I just want to say we had our final family engagement event last week. Had a lot of people here where we celebrated um our our student growth with our families. We had um a great uh art display where had all of our projects that students created. One of the things that was notable that everything that was created had a standard leaf to it. So even though we're doing art, everything was connected to the learning that is done every day. So that's a huge celebration. And then we had a tamalei dinner. Um then on to this week we had our trap meet Tuesday. That was Tuesday. I just
005want to give it up to Brian McKennis and just all of our PE teachers for creating a wonderful event. our every year sometimes kids come home come home come back from that with like stories about like oh this how did that happen but I tell you it was absolutely positive the kids the staff it was so well organized we came home with a trophy finally so our fifth grade girls um won the won the trophy but that's been a long time in the making so we're feeling really proud about that so thank you for everyone for that uh yesterday we had our um senior capstone own presentation, we did things a little differently and we had the honor of hosting uh about a third of the seniors here and our ES teachers moderated those presentations.
006And I want to read a a quote from Marlet said uh this was one of the most uplifting experiences of my career. When you're a kindergarten teacher and you get to host seniors in your room who became very vulnerable, sharing around their goals, their path, their experiences, even though she didn't have those students, she she felt like, oh, the students she had will be there one day. So, it was a really gratifying experience for every single person here. We were really honored to be able to um host our seniors in that way. So, thank you PHS for allowing us to be part of that journey. Um and then we also hosted all of the other elementary teachers were here doing um participating in that. So it's a district-wide event. Two more two more things that
007I want to share. Tonight was really amazing. We had uh all of our PLC leads stay after school. It's the end of the year, so we're all doing a lot of things, but they spent time really collaborating on our next steps for our PLC processes and coming up with how we're going to review data and how we're going to really keep improvement at the center and core of our PLC journey. The cool thing is is that we're they're co-creating this all and leading their own teams. And so, it's really cool to be able to to um spend two and a half hours and lead with a a really cool product that we feel really proud about. So just honoring our PLC work is really awesome. >> Shauna, can you please share what PLC is? >>
008Thank you. Thank you. Professional learning community. So that's basically our our teams of teachers that collaborate. So our grade level teams that meet and we meet across the district. So not just our second grade teachers here, but all of our second grade teams meet together um each week. And so they're they're guiding that process. Thank you, Nancy. Appreciate that. Uh finally, I wanted to share some really positive news that um our PES goals this year have been 80 3030 and what that means is 80% attendance, 30% in ESPback for ELA, English language arts, and 30% in math. So, we're really proud that we met two of those measures. We ended up with 82% in attendance and 31% in EL in English language arts. We're close in math, but we feel like and we made gains
009in math. We didn't just reach that target. So, um, kudos to just our entire staff for making that happen. And then finally, we have field day tomorrow. So, >> that over to K and then I'll do TS later. >> Hey, uh, without uh taking too much from our time, first of all, Kent Fier, I'm principal at Orchard Hill, but we had a wonderful track meet and uh, I don't want to repeat all the kudos that Shauna delivered, but I'll add just a few uh, interesting data points at Orchard Hill. Um sometimes uh in the spring of the year intermediate student behavior starts to kind of get a little bit shaky and earlier in the year I remember uh presenting to the board and giving you some data about a number of incidents uh and notifications
010and reminders that our students have had. So uh I continue to see a really good environment, peaceful environment, regulated environment amongst our kids at Orchard Hill. So I thought let me look at the data for last year all fifth graders for the whole year on how many uh notification behavior notifications were filed and how many this year. Uh last year there were 104 for the year and that's down to 60. Um and I want to thank Nina Barto and Magnolia Inglehart. Um they do an excellent excellent job of community building and social emotional learning and getting those kids regulated. And as Casey knowed, when uh they get into middle school and uh puberty and hormones take charge of of some behaviors, it's it's it's a hard thing to keep that regulate, but uh Magnolia and
011Nina do a great job. Uh lastly, Sean was talking about some ESBAC data. I know it's preliminary right now. Um but I just uh feel compelled. We have one teacher at Orchard Hill who has 27 students. 22 met ELA standard and that's 80%. the the state average right now is like 40 something I think >> um in that grade level at 40 but 80% of hers and that's >> very cool >> share what is that >> can you share what is >> I canback stands for the smarter balance assessment consortium it's the company that owns and publishes the test 17 states uh purchase it and it's really hard >> and I just kindly encourage all of us to remember to define all of those acronyms and it's really hard and we have three lovely new
012>> representatives that it might helpful. No, that's okay. >> You'll hear me and I'll say acronyms because I forget my brain is on like autopilot. >> I'm gonna speak for Heather. Heather is here. she's the principal at Talent Elementary and so she shared some notes with me. So I'm going to go ahead and include those. The TEES is wrapping up the year feeling great about our academic gains in both reading and math. Indicators are up in both areas. According to I Ready, 60% of students are meeting or exceeding grade level standards in reading, indicating a 4% gain over last year. Math shows 56% of students meeting or exceeding showing a 7% jump. Many thanks to our PE teacher Kyle Carson and Coach McKinnis for pulling off in another exciting and uh exciting and fun district
013fourth and fifth grade track meet. TS to combo trophies for the boys. Next Tuesday we have our field day. Thanks to both Mr. Carson and our generous PTA who supports the event. Our PTA jobathon wrapped up bringing in over $12,200 for our school. At next week's field day, you can find me taped to a wall in dirty water, dressed as a banana, and serving banana splits. Good times. >> Oh my gosh. >> Finally, TS fifth grade promotion will be held on Wednesday at 4:30 here at TS prior to the TMS 8th grade promotion happening at 6. All are welcome and invited to celebrate our students. A little fun fact is that batch of fifth graders started with us during COVID and when the fire hit our community. They are sure they sure have demonstrated incredible
014perseverance throughout their time with us. Wishing everybody gradu congratulations and another impressive year together. That's from them. Will there be an email sent to um the board about promotion times from the middle school and the elementary schools? >> Sorry, >> can you send an email reminder about the motion dates and times? >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Of course. Yeah. Okay. Um, good evening board. Casey Homestead, principal at Silent Middle School. Um, uh, first thing I wanted to show you was last week we had our fifth grade nights. Um, and that's where all of our going to be sixth graders uh, come over. We had a great turnout. Um, that transition is uh, a lot for our students, for just the feelings that our families have when they come in. of making it something that um
015they can at least find a little connection, find a little comfort. Um and met with a lot of families. I met with one family today that I met at that night that is just feeling overwhelmed about their kid coming to middle school and just doing everything I can to continue to support um knowing that that trans transition is really hard. Um I want to give a shout out to our front office. we are down some very important humans um and uh the work that is being done um as a result. So I'm just Misty Hustle, Kern Wilson, Julie Lockett, Vanessa Gimenez um are all just stepping in with a smile on their face. Uh there might be some tears at the end of the day. Hope to get through it. Um, and yeah, I just
016am so grateful for the team and just showing up and doing all we can um to end this year on a high notes. Um, I was going to share a little data as well. So, are I ready? Um, it's not fully complete yet, but so far in math, we've shown an 8% increase overall on grade level. And in reading, uh, we're right now at a 2% increase. And a part of our strategic plan, as we've talked a lot about, is our eighth grade math. And uh so far on the state test, we've seen a 7% increase for our eighth grade students. We are not where yet where I want us to be, but uh we still need to pause and celebrate growth when growth happens. And so wanted to share that. Um we and I
017will send this to the board, but our eighth grade promotion is Wednesday evening. Um again, opportunity to honor. We talked about that transition. in the middle schools kind of the you know the middle child of on both sides and so what it means to leave there and head into the high school and um pause and celebrate. We also have our field day and talent show um the day before um and again I think part of how we end year for me is like how do we build just positive memories that our kids get to keep with them long beyond middle school. Um and then last but not least, I just want to shout out the high school. We also did the senior capstone uh piece and I talk about it here and I've talked about
018it with families but just the idea of hope and hearing these kids share their journey and their story from kindergarten to um graduation and all that they endured um uh to get there uh was really awesome to see. So thank you Kayyn for letting this experience in. Thank you. Hi everyone. We're going a little out of order. Um I just wanted to share a few quick highlights about the on behalf of the um early learning center. Um one a couple of weeks ago we took a walking field trip over here to Phoenix Elementary which we did last year as well with our little uh incoming kinders. So thank you so much to Shauna, Jenna Hopkins, Mara Dentino as well as like very patient cafeteria staff. Uh the cafeteria is most definitely the highlight when they
019get to first of all that's a giant room for them. It's just a highlight to go through and choose your food and all the things and there's a playground theme too. So thank you to PES. I think that's a really wonderful opportunity for our little connection today with our preschool promotion. Um Joe came and took a really cool that to you. Thank you. Um next year we're going to need a bigger space. We're like we're going to have to do it in a bigger space like Blue Heron Park or something really cool. Great. wonderful family turnout. Just had nine. Uh we just have nine that are moving on to kinder next year. So, just a shout out to that whole team. Um and I want to give a shout out to Rosario. She's been at
020the preschool the last two years with us and is transitioning to actually Orchard Hill. So, I just want to thank her for being with us during this time of development and growth as she moves as she moves on to Orchard Hill. And also to her mom, Rosie Ruiz, who has been a really reliable sub for us at the school wolf. So, shout out to them. Um, we actually also in preschool news have been uh been told that we'll have eight additional spots. We have 20 preschool spots this year. Next year we'll have 28. So, really looking forward to every little bit counts. So, somewhere around 14 in each classroom still. Um, but just really grateful for that opportunity. And then last, I want to give an appreciation >> and then I'll pass the microphone to
021her. That is in the public record forever. >> Welcome. >> Well, good evening. Kaylin Cross, proud principal of Phoenix High School. A couple of I feel like I could shout out to every staff member in our building. I'm sure all of us feel that way, especially when we get towards the end of the year. you like can really see how everyone's just doing their best. But um specifically, I want to give a shout out to Rothanne Pawn, who's our credit retrieval magician, wizard, um all the things. She works really hard with students who have maybe um had a difficult time in in classes or there's there's a variety of reasons kids are in credit retrieval, but she celebrates every win with them and she ensures that students are getting the credit they need to move
022forward. and she does so with grace and kindness and um she's amazing. So, I just want to shout out to to her. Um, additionally, our student services team has been through a lot of change this year. Um, but a shout out to Tammy Ingerson and Helica Mendoza, Skyler Lines, Alejandro Velasquez, Derek Rodman, Anna Reading and Jess Marsh who have been able to just focus and use some systems to ensure every student is getting exactly what they need. Um, and I'm really excited for you guys for our graduation rate to be finalized so you can see that um, love and heart and hard work um, in the numbers. Um, speaking of which, Erica Ooa um, does a lot behind the scenes and she doesn't get the microphone a lot and she doesn't she's not at the
023forefront, but she leads the student services team and the student management team and the attendance initiative with precision and um, focus and heart. And so I just want to shout out to her um, in addition to putting on field days and um, organizing grad walk and all of those things. And so just a shout out to Erica um who is an amazing leader. Um we did have senior capstones. I want to thank uh Shauna Brenda Cely and um Sarah Crawford for helping us kind of reinvent the wheel. We did it a little bit differently. And then also we had um a group of amazing community volunteers. We had 16 community members um which doesn't seem like a lot but we're rebuilding that. And so they were so excited to be part of it and it
024was great. And then also the PTS staff for just being positive and supportive. You could feel the difference when we said hello to seniors and when we sent them to their rooms and when they came out. Not just a relief of being them, but feeling so proud of who they were and um our staff just really helped with that. uh specifically Kelly Fog Johnson and Zachie and Sarah Kremp who are the senior English teachers who spent weeks and weeks not only prepping students for the content of those speeches but teaching them things like power poses, deep breathing, mindfulness, things that they can use in interviews and um in real life beyond this. And so just shout out to them. Uh Chris Flower is our digital media teacher. um also like a quiet behind the scenes
025guy, but he makes the magic happen this these last couple weeks especially. So, senior video, senior sign out video, senior banner, yearbook, free sport athlete pictures. I mean, you name it, he's doing it and he does it with not and any any complaining. He's amazing. So, shout out to him. And then last, just to kind of uh jump in, we had our uh spring sports night. So, I would normally hand the mic over to James Joy, so pretend I'm not me still talking, but he's at summer basketball right now. We had um 83 Phoenix High School spring sport students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Um we had um 33 sport athletes and 92 sport athletes this year, which is amazing. Um and then just a shout out to a couple of teams. baseball,
026I'm sure you heard, but took third in Skyline um and won a first round playoff game at Gladstone, which is amazing. We're so proud of them. Our boys volleyball team um went eight and zero in the second half of the conference. They lost to the state playoff at Central Christian, but what an amazing just uh experience for them. And we have multiple athletes who competed at state per track. Um but our boys took ninth overall as a team. And I think that's really important for you to know. And lastly, but certainly not least, our girls tennis team was the OSAA team of the month for April and had their first winning season in dual matches going 64. So, just a shout out to all of the coaches and support staff that make that happen. And
027that's all from DHS. >> Evening board Aaron Santi Phoenix Rising Academy. I want to highlight an individual student uh tonight. I'm not going to tell you that student's name, but uh this is a sixth grader and the reason I want to bring this person up is they finished every one of their classes a week early. So, we've never had this happen. We've never had any student finish all their classes even on time practically, but this kid finished every class a week early. And if you guys know that the coursework in a mentor, it is extremely rigorous and difficult. So, um it's really cool and I wanted to highlight, but I can't tell your name because I get permission from my parents to do that, but um maybe I'll tell you later. Um but, uh it
028really our middle school students are also really appreciate being able to set their own daily schedule for school work, including not having to get up early to catch the bus and then being able to do their schoolwork um anywhere that they have internet. So, she's a good example of being able to do that and do it with Gusto. Uh with just one week to go, we've got our last field trip and our last steam um class and we're getting ready for our kindergarten fifth grade eighth grade recognition ceremony tomorrow evening. Uh that'll be at uh 5:00 at our classroom and then we'll be moving to a new class next year. So the train continues to roll on that. So we'll be in a new we will be in the same building. So we're excited to
029be at least stay in the same building and we're getting ready to also celebrate all the accomplishments of our teachers and students. Thank for uh Amy. >> Hi Amy Hans food service. I just wanted to first thank Jeremy Andrews or Anders I'm sorry Jeremy Anders in it. He actually got this wonderful idea and he thought let's put our food service survey on this kids Chromebooks. And so because of that, our spring food service survey, we had 587 responses and 465 of them were students. >> So I'm really excited about that. It's going to bring us a lot of uh valuable insights um and a lot more engagement to come with it. Over the past couple weeks, we've been excited to be part of some of these fun end of year celebrations that everyone's talking about,
030including the field days, the track days, the incoming students coming to the middle school or to the elementary from the preschool. Um, especially today, the senior barbecue that won that. I'm sure they would tell you all about it. But we had actually some our own chef, executive chef Brian, who made scratchmade homemade beef patties with locally sourced beef. >> That's awesome. >> So, I didn't get to have one. I hope they all enjoyed them, but I heard it was a big success there. Uh, looking ahead, I'll be putting together actually a full report for you guys of the full year. Um, a lot of highlights including some of our daily participation trends, commodity and grant utilization, local purchasing vendors and totals that we've spent for the year, total meal counts, and then just some of
031the students top selections of entre for the year. If there's anything else that you guys can think of that you wish you knew what happened in food service over the year, please let me know because I'd love to include that in that report. uh that'll probably just be in your board packet next board meeting, but if you have any questions uh or would like to talk to me about it more later, just let me know. Thank you. Oh, and I have to leave. I'm sorry, Denise, this wasn't in my email reminder, but I also have to leave everybody with the knowledge that we will of course be having summer food service program. Phoenix Elementary and Talon Elementary will be open all summer for all children 18 and under. Um come eat free. Parents can come
032eat. We just do have to charge. But please don't let that stop you from coming and enjoying a meal with the students. Thank you. >> Amy won't say this, but uh she has been named the regional general manager for Southern Oregon. >> Will be our own uh Phoenix talent person as well. So not going far, but she's going to support uh the region in that role. It's just an example of the great things that we're doing here thanks to everything that you guys do to support us and the team. Um, I mean, Phoenix talent really makes food service and Sedexo feel like partners and part of the team here. And we want to take that, we being me and Sedexo and the region want to take that to other districts and just continue to build
033on this momentum of local scratch, you know, foods that we're doing and that partnership and how can we make it better for the kids because ultimately nobody comes to this job unless they care about the kids. >> Thank you so much. Right. Anything from the board? >> Yeah. Yeah. Chairman board. Uh my wife is a member of optimist international act and uh being the dipable husband that I have uh I attend certain functions with her but there was one I really enjoyed attending and that was the 2026 recognition and award for on May 11 of this year and uh where they gave all scholarships and one of the scholarships they gave out they primarily they give to Ash that's where they're based but they've also reached over to Pink High School as well and we
034have somebody from Phoenix High School received a three $3,000 uh scholarship career technical educational award to Sahara Knight of Phoenix High School. So I I she got shake her hand I'll pass this off to Janice. Thank you. >> There you go. >> Thanks for sharing. Anything else? >> I have something. >> Okay. Um, this year has been a little bit more emotional for me. Um, as I have my youngest child going out of elementary school and my middle child going out of middle school. Um, fifth grade family night three years ago was amazing and this year was just as touching. Um, I really enjoy the way that Casey engages with the families and um, we do this little thing um, where we get to write down what all all of the families get to write
035down and students what their hope is um, for um, like their education and their upcoming school year. And um, it was just it was just a really well put together event. I also got to attend the track meet as a parent and that um is my last track meet as a parent, but um was also very wonderful. Always really fun and really well put together and those kiddos work really hard um and the teachers and staff all work really hard and I just wanted to give kudos for that. >> Were you the family he was talking about struggling with medicine? >> Yeah. I'm hoping it freeze at three. >> But >> okay, they're in good hands. >> And I have something. >> Yeah, go for it. >> I just want to say thank you so
036much for all of the um teachers and principals and staff. I mean, it really is a school like a whole it's schools are such a beautiful community in in such a unique way. Well, they're not like the parents. Teachers oftentimes take that role of a parent in teaching so many basic things. So, it's not just the heart of a of a teacher that comes in and tries to teach math and reading and writing and all the beautiful clubs. We have Mr. um doing so many beautiful things. But I'm super super grateful I have a senior this year. and now I'm going to cry. I'm just really grateful for all of you and in all of the um struggles and challenges like the work that you all do day in and day out really makes such
037a huge difference and we are incredibly blessed and fortunate to have you all here for the students to be able to come here and while not everybody you know people have different experiences I am just overflowing with gratitude and um appreciation for all of you and I'm so grateful for the students that step up and do all kinds of things because you all take such a beautiful role in supporting you know that those school systems as well. So thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you gracias. >> All right, nobody's going to follow that. So, we're going to move on. Citizen conference. Um, is there anybody wishes to address the board? I don't think so, but I do see that Sandra is here. Hi, Sandra. So, the next is the uh ETA update.
038>> Hi, I'm Sandra Tringelo. Um, I teach at Talent Middle School. I'm finishing out year 22. I know when you think back like when I think back how how much of my life 22 years is not done yet though. >> Um and I am co-president of Phoenix Talent Education Association. Um so a few things to share. It's the end of the year really really busy for our our members. They're working on compiling their data and doing reports for their end of the year evaluations. They're finishing up grades. They're um doing all sorts of activities with kids and um amidst all that generally a really positive um feeling going on. Um we're excited about the end of the school year. Um we just had our spring gathering celebration every spring. This is our our third year
039doing this. We um celebrate our members, recognize members. We have lots of prizes. Um and it was really well attended this year and just a great feeling of fellowship. Um another big positive is we just awarded our PTA scholarship. Every year we award a scholarship to a graduating Phoenix High School senior and this year the recipient was Nicoleta Fields who will be majoring in journalism. Um so we were really excited about it. Um, something else we did this spring, a a big change for us as teacher teachers this year was the move toward inclusion and one of the full inclusion and one of the things we did with ask our members how it was going. Um, we were hearing a lot from our building reps that there were a lot of questions about um, how
040it was going to look, um, what kind of training they could expect, etc. So, we wanted to ask all of our members um what they were experiencing over the year. Um what were the positives that they saw and then what were areas that they needed support and we wanted to bring the results of the survey to you. Our members were really honest with what they were experiencing. And what you'll see by and large is that our members are really supportive of the idea of full inclusion. Um and we also really want it to be successful. And to be successful, we need resources, we need support, and we need training. Um, many of the students who are coming into our classroom require differentiation that's at a level we just haven't been trained for. And so we
041really really would love to have training um and more opportunities for collaboration so that we can really really do um the job we want to do to make um education um meaningful and accessible for every single one of our students. So, I'm going to bring the um survey results to you and um of course after you review that, if you have any questions, Laura and I are available and happy to answer any of those. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you for coming. Congrats on your 22nd year. Mhm. >> Um, okay. Next is the superintendent report. >> Yeah, thank you, Chair Campbell. I just kind of want to echo Nancy Sen just the appreciation. It it's just uh we've shared this before. It's an incredible time of the year. Uh,
042and it's an incredible busy time of the year with all the activities you heard from our uh administrators. And um really a week from tomorrow, uh the majority of our staff are off for the summer. So, not only wrapping up this year, our team is really kind of planning and making sure everything needs to be communicated to our staff um in a little over a week uh to really kind of kick off the 26 27 school year um which will be here before we know it. I don't want you to think about it though. Want you to finish this year strong, have a great summer, and then we'll talk about that when it happens. But just an appreciation to our team and our uh teachers and our classified staff and all of our support staff.
043Um want to mention just uh uh some people that often get overlooked with our technology and our maintenance in custodial. They uh with more events becomes more uh um um duties for those staff members as well and the generally appreciate all they do and so responsive. Um, want to just highlight Kelly, what she said. Having uh our own preschool promise spots, 28 spots for our community is a big big deal. And just uh under Kelly's leadership, we've we've really expanded our preschool footprint. Um not only expanding our preschool over behind the high school, our early learning center, uh but we're at uh more preschool spots with the vendor as the YMCA uh is going to um open a site at Fort Hill. they already occupy a classroom in Talent Elementary and so that's an expansion
044of preschool opportunities for for our community as well. So really excited about that. uh in your packets I believe you have the S O S O S O S O S O S O S O S O S O S O SD blueprint and beyond newsletter uh to Mark has been sharing that and it's uh uh just a great communication tool that we've u continue out what's happening in ESG and finally um I just want to thank Don for being at the city council meeting uh last night at the city they talked about the SRO uh program and there was questions As you may remember, that budget committee um approved or recommended a budget for inclusion of the school resource officer and talent. Um there was a lot of discussion um last night and there's
045still work to do to see uh about having that be a position uh for our students and our families. I'm confidence we can work a plan and work together to have that position. um we still have some um a ways to go a little bit uh to communicate and get some clarity on kind of the the resources and the true cost of what it takes to have an SRO in u and with that that's all I have. Thank you so much. Any questions for Okay. Uh next is a consent agenda. Does anyone need to pull anything off of the consent agenda for separate action? >> Okay. Um, do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> I move to approve the consent agenda as presented. >> Thank you, D. Thank you, Rebecca. Any
046objections? Hearing none, the consent agenda is approved. Um, next is information and discussion legislative OSBA update. Don, >> I can start it. Um, so OSBA is Oregon School Board Association. Um, I have been on that board as an board of directors for a few years now. So, I do report on it every um, >> She's also the president. Oh, so there's we're doing a huge government um robust research on the governance and there we have a we've hired the Karajio group and they have a survey. They've extended it to June 10th. I've sent out a few reminders. If you want me to send you another reminder, you can also probably get it on the website. It's really important to give your feedback. Some of the things coming up is is right now um the size
047of our board of directors, the way that it's set up. Some of the regions have more multiple, some do not. Um some have weighted votes, some do not. Um we do not have a weighted vote, by the way. Um and so what is working? Are the caucuses working? Are the committees working? There's a whole bunch of questions and a whole bunch of discussion. Um, we usually do this every 3 years. However, it's been not as robust in the past and there has not been really a paper trail. So, looking back what happened last three years, three years ago, no one really knows. So, we're um trying to be more transparent and so but we want to hear um everybody's input because this is the time to do it because we'll vote on it in November
048and it's better to have your input now than like the week before you vote on it because you can't make much changes. Um tomorrow the Oregon Department of Education OB is and OSBA the Oregon School Board Association is having a webinar. The governor brought out an executive order on hours of the schools. That's been challenging for some schools. I don't think it's a challenge for us, but it's a challenge for some schools. Some um one on the coast decided to go to four days. And so there's a lot of challenges. So they're having a information um a webinar tomorrow. So, if that's something that interests anybody, and then the legislative policy committee through OSBA, um, our goal this summer is to work on relationships with the legislators and, um, I'm going to work with the
049other two people in our region and come up with some plans as well. But if you have any suggestions on that, please let me know. And I think that is, excuse me, all that I have. And I don't know if anybody else has Thank you. Doc, have there been um some trends or things that have ident that have been identified of why some schools have been transitioning to a 4 day school week instead of a five day? Is that >> Yes. So, usually the ones I've talked to, it's bigger. They have a wider region. So, some of the students are traveling on a bus for maybe an hour and a half to two hours to school. So um so 4 days would be less they're not doing that as as much. Um also depending on
050the community some communities are agriculture or they're they need time to be um at home or they're not or also some of them their attendance were not on Fridays they were attendance was down and so there's many many reasons however um some of them still get the hour so it's okay and some do not so it just kind of depends on how that you're doing it. So, I think most the ones I talked to are still okay, but there's a few that are not. >> My experience has been that budgeting is oftentimes the major driving factor of four day school weeks >> um is expensive. I mean, there's there's a lot of components to that. Um >> so, budgets oftent times an issue and the long um commute time from wherever place. I know Clamoth
051County talked about it because of the long commute, two hours on a bus that saves time if you don't one day >> valley I mean all of this like >> you know the further you move away from like higher density populations the more challenging it becomes and if they are moving to a four day does that mean that the days get expanded? >> It depends on how they do it and and the ones that did expand the days then they're okay with ours. ones that did not expand the days are the ones that are ch are having challenges. >> Fantastic. Thank you so much. >> Has there been any discussion um about this accounting code project that's being planned for um that is part of the accountability? >> Yeah, >> we're not triing that are
052correct. >> There there is some push back. Yeah. push back a year. >> It got pushed back. There are some bigger districts that volunteer to trial it. Um it from what I've heard, I haven't done a lot of in this um area, but from what I heard, the more digging into what is needed, the more like, oh my goodness, this is way more than we thought it was going to be. So, I know that um Oregon School Board Association is working with um >> KOSA the superintendent and the business managers and um they're trying to come up with a plan to uh say how much I don't think anyone realizes how much time and money goes into these kinds of things and not only um filing the reports but getting the data in and every
053single time it seems like they need the data in a different format and it gets very challenging. >> It's going to tie up district office staff for a year to implement that project. Um, I mean, I I think if you I just kind of was thinking about the make the effort that it will take you just extrapolate 200 districts and you average let's say a $500,000 effort per district on average just for big and small and that's a that's a hundred million expense um in time and resources to implement it. And then you have to ask what impact is it actually going to have on student outcomes. I think if we want to focus on something as a state, we should be focusing on time in classroom with teachers. Um and so I hope that
054OSBA is taking a really close look at it because we need to I'm just not convinced. Um and I think there's a lot of people around the state that are not convinced it's going to have the effect that they hope it has. um and it's going to be very very costly to implement as a result too. >> So SBA is already talking about the cost and how that money is not going to students >> and um as you probably are aware there's a lot of talk from just the general public of well we're too topheavy schools are too topheavy. You probably hear that often and it's like we're topheavy because the state says you have to do this and so it's it's kind of like some schools are making these huge cuts on teachers. I
055mean, I feel bad for the schools up north public and Salem Kaiser and all all of my other fellow board members that are going through these major major changes and then like they can't cut some things because it's state and I think that's another conversation I've been into division 22 like when do schools just say sorry we're not going to do this punish us but we're going to spend our money on students students in the classroom and teachers not on stuff that isn't mattering. And if you look from the data that in the conversation I was in, if you look at division 22 standards, the schools following it and the schools not following it, there is not a difference. The schools that are following it aren't having any better outcomes. And in some cases, the
056schools that are not following it are actually having better outcomes. So, um, >> imagine that. So where where where where does the accountability go? And the OD, the Oregon Department of Education used to be a department that would support schools and it be it seems like to some it's becoming a department that is bringing down restrictions and enforcement and the support is no longer there and I think that is actually a conversation to be had of the support that was given is no longer there. And so, yeah, it's very frustrating. >> Yeah. Okay. Well, thanks for the update on that. Um, uh, okay. Committee updates. Um, do we have any? So, if we don't, I have a thought. Um, I would like to kind of use this opportunity for our safety committee um to have
057a conversation about the SRO things. Um, I know Don, I don't think you're official member of the safety committee, but I I know that you did attend the council meeting last night, and I was hoping you could just provide the board uh an update on the SRO um situation with Talent. Feel free to jump in. Um, but what what did you observe? What and what's what was it what was the end result? Maybe you could start with the bottom line up front and then >> there was a lot of conversation. I'm I'm going to start >> there was a lot of conversation. I did a public testimony. Um and I think there's some miscommunication. I think people don't understand exactly what the SR does, the money involved in a whole bunch of stuff. It was
058it was it was kind of awkward. It was it was discussed. They had a motion about um coming back to us and negotiating. The motion did not move forward. They passed the budget, but the budget was only until the end of December, not the end of the school year. They took a break and then they um brought another motion in front of the uh council that they had talked with during the break with city manager and council and that was to do negotiations. There was a they left the motion very vague and um and therefore they are going to ne come back to the district and negotiate a they want us to pay more and I think there was a lot of talk on how this is going to go. So they're they could I
059am fearful that it's still very up in the air. So my I'll just go to my suggestions. I would really highly recommend that we have a joint meeting with city council that are making the decision. I feel like they don't we need to have communication, transparency, be able to answer their questions because the format of that um last night it wasn't there to answer the questions. The police the police chief tried her best but there was many things. Um the second part is I was asked by the mayor how I was representing the district and um my answer was as a school board member concerned. However, I think there's different options in the city's review that if I would have been not, and I'm not saying I need to be, but if I would have
060been nominated by the board to be the speaker for the board, I could have spoke at different times instead of just the public comment. >> So, I think that we need to think about how that works, verify that's actually the case. Um because they were like, "Well, we'll have this." And we're like, "We already have done our budget." Like there's things that I wanted to say that would have been information, but they, you know, they're like, "So at break, I said, you know, we've already done our budget. We've already had these conversations based on other things." And so there wasn't any open communication. So, I think maybe clarifying with the mayor what that means on different roles um because I think it's important for anybody going to have and I think we need to have
061a discussion about this obviously um because there was things that that was there that I couldn't say that I knew the answer to and they're spending five minutes discussing it and going well we don't know so we'll just move on and this is probably you know and so it So that's why I think we should have we definitely need to have a meeting and then I think we should also discuss on moving forward with the city on how to help them make informed decisions. I think they were trying their best but this the format of doing it was challenging. So from what I understand, the budget committee recommended approval of the budget which included uh extending the SRO resources for the next year. For the next year, right? Next year. >> No, the rest of
062this year. >> Yes. >> Well, that but the budget committee at the meeting a couple weeks ago >> Yeah. for the city >> approved all of it, right? And so then the council last night, did they did they only pass their whole budget through the end of December or they carved out that one line item? >> So that was very confusing. I have asked for a copy of the um recording. >> You understand what they did? I've asked for a copy of the recording to because there was a lot of question and a lot of discussion and again I think we need clarification and some like open a different way to communicate with them so we can answer their questions and we can understand where they're coming from and they can understand where we're coming
063from. From what I understand, and I could be wrong, they they were only doing it to December, but the motion they did after the budget is the concerning part because the motion they did after the budget was they had sta they wanted staff to come and negotiate with us, bring those negotiations back, and then have the right to decide what to do after that. They clearly said the budget was in there, but just because it's in the budget doesn't mean they have to spend that money. So they come back from negotiations. The thing was they want to do it by September, but September, as Chief Shnook said, the SRO conference is in the summer. They're hiring different they're hiring two police officers. So like it having like she does she want to hire someone else
064that this SRO that has um has been there for a while is not going to have a job in who knows how long clarity on that. >> So there you do good. >> So Sergeant Lman is talking about retiring. >> Okay. >> Um he was going to do it another year. He's no longer feeling like that's what he wants to do. Um there is two candidates that are um interested in SRO position. Um as of right now there was also talk about us just not hire having them telling us to find somebody else find a different person like or maybe Phoenix or Ashlin or the county. So there's a lot of things and I don't think they understand the nuances. I don't think they understand. Um, they say they understand the importance, but I think
065there's a lot of things they don't understand and they had a lot of questions and the chief was doing a really good job of trying to explain like find saying yes, we're going to have a SRO or no, we're not in September is really challenging. >> So, um, and hiring and all of that. So it's >> the other piece is is a confusion around because when for an SRO it's 900 hours a year, right? That's what the school year that's. That's where I was going to kind of share. So when we have an officer full-time officer with benefits of $150,000 roughly for a full year uh police officer and talent. And so what we're asking the city to do is break it down to what we have school in session. Let's break it down to
066the hourly rate and benefits and all of that. Um uh and then we'll split that cost with the city. And so there's discrepancy on what that cost may be. But what we have been doing the last two years and this is kind of a no good deed goes unpunished deal is we have been paying $75,000 half of a full off extra officer for the department for the city and we've been able to do that because we utilize some messer funds we utilize some title four funds we've been utilizing some ADM security funds so we've had those as you know ADM security funds are gone Esser funds are gone. Um, title four funds are essentially gone. And so we've reduced and we've been having this conversation for over a year now that we weren't going to
067be able to do that half that cost for a full-time allyear employee. Um, and so have been saying we'll reduce that to about $40,000 which we have carved out in our student investment account. Um and so I think the discussion is really sharing with the council what does it cost for when we are in session uh for that SRO and let's look at splitting that cost. We also have agreed with the chief and the middle school Casey is uh to reduce or eliminate any afterchool um overtime events which will go a long ways uh because officer layman Sergeant Layman was at a lot of different events. We may have to if we have an incident just have to call on patrol, you know, during those events at the elementary or or it is approved by
068the chief and myself to say we approve that over time for this event. uh some of them are it's really wise to have somebody there because >> um I in my public testimony this was again frustrating for me talked about that but then they asked the chief questions and then the chief basically it was there was there was it was confusing and I couldn't say anything because they're like well you should pay half and I said well what about summer vacations and they and the chief is like know they they and I said what sometimes the officer gets pulled away and the chief said that doesn't happen very often and and so there was confusion on ours and we were talking differently and so I think the chief the chief was doing really good at
069trying but then there was no like I couldn't say like hey the numbers that I had in the email that you had sent me I couldn't like say that because my 3 minutes were already over and people asking is to just to do I mean we have a relationship with the city of Teen Bon has a relationship with the district uh that they use actually Ashlin they don't pay anything for their SRL the city the city uh supports it completely and so um we're we're not we're not trying to just get a super great deal out of thing we're just saying hey this is an important position for our community and we believe that you know this is theou and the intergovernmental agreement that is fair for everybody. >> Well, again, I if we need
070to have a joint session as as soon as possible. >> Yeah. Who can initiate that? I can I can talk to Alex and I've been communicating with Alec all day today. So, um we'll we'll talk and say, "Hey, can we get um I know they have a meeting I think on the 18th or no?" >> Yeah. >> Is it the 18th? >> Um is that our meeting? >> I think that's our meeting too. Yeah, June >> I think June 18th is their next meeting which I think is our So that might be something we want to um >> talk about as well. >> Or is it is it the 17th? >> I think the 17th >> there's usually on Wednesday >> then our calendar is >> our meeting is the 18th. Yeah. >> The city
071of town's meeting. >> Okay. And I don't think I think they they passed the budget and now they have directed staff to contact us and and come back before the and before September with with negotiations. But I think there's communication being it's not it's like the telephone game, right? Like they're talking to you us and it's I feel like they have questions that staff maybe isn't answered and just going back and forth. I'm really really concerned that there's going to be some more miscommunication and it's going to take more time than expected. And I would recommend having the joy meeting here um because the sound quality of our recording and then we can do the public meeting and I I just think that it might be to your if that's possible. >> So the city
072doesn't have it posted their next meeting. >> They just have up to June 3rd. >> I have a question. Do they publish like we have we have we publish what we're doing? >> Yeah. >> Before the board meeting comes. Do they publish this beforehand? Like is there It seems like interesting that you said that they brought other things up in the middle or I was just confused by that they published it. They had the they had the budget and then they brought motions up afterwards. That was from what I understand they talked to the lawyer and fi and the ad um the city manager in inside in five it was brought up during discussion during the break they went and then they made the motion. So that was not that was something that was done
073in that meeting. >> How many council members were talking during the break? >> I don't know >> how many were talking for the break because they all left the room. >> Oh that's interesting. Except one. >> Kind of sounds like they had a public meeting >> except one um who we all know she stayed in the room. >> How many council members were in attendance? >> Five because they have two MDC. >> Yeah, I know that. >> And by the way, the motion to it when we get the recording, the motion for um SE of negotiations was not enough. There was a person that voted. >> Oh. >> Yeah. The SRM is a resource officer, right? >> City of town. >> Yeah. The middle school and the elementary school. >> Yeah, we have two in
074two different cities. So, we have to negotiate with each one. >> It's a good question though. Our agreement with city of Phoenix has already been approved for next year. We have a >> still have to approve the talent. Yeah. >> Yeah. We're getting a push back from the city. >> Yeah. And the arrangement and once you speak about the arrangement with Phoenix was they're covering that costly, >> right? >> Yeah. We we split the cost of what that service is throughout the year. >> For the nine months, >> what's the total value of their budget that they passed? $4 million. >> Um they mentioned it last night and I did not take notes on it. So >> $5 million >> and they and they mentioned that our budget was significantly more. So we could have
075>> are we >> um >> really >> but so they're like your budget they the it was mentioned I don't know the exact words but there was a mention of that our budget was more it was mentioned >> I can't imagine squalling over 30 grand of a $5 million budget. So, >> was there any council members that were um not confused by what was happening with the SRO? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> The same person who voted no on the negotiation stuff. >> Yeah. Well, thank you for the very informative update. Um I look forward to hopefully having the conversation. >> Yeah. and and they did they thanked me for bringing that up. And when I left, the the city manager and the chief were not in the room when I left because they were
076previously talking about his contract >> and his salary. And so he had been out of the room. So they I was waiting for them to adjourn into executive session, >> but they did not. They just said, "Thank you for coming and asked me to leave." And when I left, I saw the chief and um city manager and they said they were going to talk with Brent. >> Okay. >> They were >> very kind. >> Okay. >> Good. >> Not that no one was not kind. It would >> Well, it just it just feels a little political given the again 30 grand of a $5 million budget. But, you know, it just push I'm not saying not trying to tell the city how to >> spend their money, but it just it just >> I think
077a lot of it is they just not understanding Yeah. >> the understanding of how it all works. >> Yes. Yeah. Couple of things. Number one friend pointed out all of them used to pay >> except as I cover the whole thing. But I was Donnie mentioned that they want us to pay pay more to pay more pay more than what >> the more than more than what is budgeted. >> What they budget >> they want us to pay half of the yearly salary. >> Yeah. So they want >> they want to pay half >> of the entire yearly salary not just of one now school. And they also mentioned equipment and gas and some other things too. So I don't >> Yeah. >> Right. So they want us to um that they have never charged.
078They had to get equipment at the middle school that was brought up that the city had never had to pay for. So there was a lot of of financials and they felt like they needed to pay more than we had and they did not want to add more into their budget. So that's going to work. Does that make sense? >> I get it, but I I don't >> Did anyone speak to safety in the school? I know we're talking about the money and that, but is anybody talking about the safety of the school? >> I think that happened at the budget meeting when the budget committee approved the budget that the council decided to change. >> I'm just curious because I feel like >> imagine if we our budget committee, >> we have we have
079numbers. We know what it's going to be. It's very clear about what it is. >> Correct. and it's like we vote on it and is what it is. So, it's I just it just seems kind of interesting to me to have that. >> It hasn't we haven't done it in my seven budgets that we're we're voting on our budgets tonight. I don't think anyone's planning on making any changes to the recommended budget. Well, I just I just feel like >> at the heart of this is that we have our kids that are safe in schools and we're in a vulnerable place over there and the way even though we've taken measures, a lot of dollars spent on measures to protect them, >> you know, that seems >> I think the frustrating thing is is communication
080and process. Um, so if they wanted to renegotiate this, they should have done it months ago. Um, and if if this was something they wanted to consider, they should have involved this in the conversation months ago. >> I heard Brent say something about there was an agreement that was a certain length of time and they knew about that agreement, right? Because we both we're in in that together. >> We do our school resource officer agreement and then but we knew that we couldn't carry that $75,000 moving forward. We also don't feel like we should carry that all all that. >> Yeah. When they're not even >> But I think it was important to this board. It was important to our community that hey, we want to get this up and running and and we have
081it running really well. >> Yeah, >> it's an incredible resource. I think that there is also just a lack of understanding from the council members and the city officials of what like tremendous um you know opportunity it is to have an SRO in our community and like how essential that is to our children and our families. They never that was never part of the argument. They started out saying they knew it was important. It was it it kept on going focusing to money. >> I was the only one that spoke about the SRO in the public meeting. By the way, >> Nancy, >> oh, >> I appreciate the discussion and we think it's just best for us to move forward and find some time for us to have a joint meeting to really have conversations
082to really um narrow those gaps of understanding because I mean we can >> we can guess and make assumptions about all kinds of things forever and ever, but it's not going to get us anywhere. And I think it it's noted it's challenging and a little bit of disheartening that we have been moving through this process and then it sounds like at the last minute some things change. Um so just leaning into that curiosity and to ask like to minimize assumptions I think would be really nice. >> Thank you Reed. >> Um >> thanks for bringing >> Yeah, thank you for going. Uh next item on the information and discussion is the sedesso contract. Um so we'll take that up next time. Thankfully there's not any controversy with this contract. So >> these are going to
083be just got it budget. >> Okay, perfect. Even even better. >> Okay, great. >> Um and then um the next is the board policy packet. We're doing board policies a little bit differently now. Um so all of the policies that we're taking up will be a part of one packet and um so not much changes. Um the benefit is we can vote to approve the policies together as one packet rather than having to go through and vote on each of them individually. And then of course if if there's one that we need to pull out ever and take separate action on we could do that. Um but um otherwise we can just vote to approve all the policies within. Is this a newer role or something? I'm thinking where was this when we >> Oh,
084>> this was it's a way that we could that other districts do, but we've kind of adopted so and especially useful when you have a bunch at the same time. So, >> yeah. So, any questions on any of these policy? Did you have any comments on a lot of language? There are some optional language in there, but not going to entertain any of those questions. Any questions on any of these? I just want to thank Denise for getting all these ready, >> especially when they come in. And I think this was the >> April update that came in just a few weeks ago. >> Yeah. I just want to make sure there's no questions about how I have it to where you're going to get the policy that has the changes in it highlighted and
085then the next learn will show the policy with those changes incorporated as a draft so that you'll see how it completely reads with those changes. Hopefully that will help. And I don't know this for sure, but I know that Spencer Lewis from Oregon School Board Association did do an update on the policy that you just set out and it might be on record. So yeah, I watched if you want to learn more about it. That might be a resource as well, but thank you very much, Denise. >> All right, we're going to take a 10m minute recess and we'll be back at 7:30 tonight. >> Right. >> All right, we are back. Action items. Uh we have our budget resolutions. Um and we'll start with 26-1. >> I move to adopt resolution 26-1 adopting the
0862026 27 budget as presented. >> I second. >> Thank you Rebecca. Thank you Nancy. Discussion. Anna. >> Yes. >> Nancy. Yes. >> Pauling. >> Yes. >> Rick. >> Yes. >> Don. >> Yes. >> Rebecca. >> Yes. >> I vote yes. >> 26-2 appropriations. >> I'll make that one. >> I move to brother 26-2 making appropriations for the 20 26-27 budget as presented. >> Second. >> Thank you, Rick. Thank you, Rebecca. discussion. >> Yes. >> Nancy, >> yes. >> Holly, >> yes. >> Rick, >> yes. >> Don, >> yes. >> Rebecca, >> yes. >> I vote yes. >> 263 imposing adorum tax. Adalorum taxes. >> I move to adopt the resolution 26-3 to impose adorum taxes as presented. >> Thank you, >> Paulie. Thank you, Rick. discussion. Let it be known that Paul's the one who's
087taxing everyone >> this year. Diana >> trouble troublemaker with capital T. >> Diana, >> if I vote yes, do I get blamed for that? >> No. >> Yes. Just blame. >> Just only Nancy. Yes. >> Yes. >> Rick, >> yes. >> Don, >> yes. >> Rebecca, >> I vote yes. >> And 264 categorize. >> I move to adopt resolution 24- sorry 26-4 to categorize abalone taxes as presented. >> Second. >> Thank you, Nancy. Thank you, Diana. Uh discussion. Ben, >> yes. >> Nancy, >> yes. >> Holly, >> yes. >> Rick, >> yes. >> Don, >> yes. >> Rebecca, >> yes. Next meeting's agenda is there. Um >> I have a question. When When did we when did we schedule our July meeting? 23rd something. July 23rd >> or whatever that Thursday is that we >>
088did we schedule that as a work session too or just >> I got that thinking in >> Can you speak up just a moment? >> I'm sorry. Um I was asking when our July meeting was scheduled for scheduled for the 23rd. Um, and I got to thinking in off years when we don't have new people to swear in things like that, we could do our organizational meeting, the last meeting in June. So, just a thought for the future. I don't know if we want to just like your last harrah. >> What's that? >> I got to get you back for the tax. >> Be nice to have a new chair in place right away. have to vote on it. >> You have to vote for it. It >> is not. >> So anyway, I just
089want to throw that out there. I may not be here. >> Oh yeah, that's true. Yeah, I'm not saying for this year. I'm just throwing it out there for for future years. >> I will not be here. >> You're not here. >> Also the 18th we will have a number of administrators. Most of one's here I think either presenting or going to seaside annual conference. I will not be here >> on the 18th. So I'll probably give all the administrators um it's a it's a very light agenda. >> We need the >> we need to have a meeting. >> I I mean how critical are those policies pass? >> We have July. >> I don't care. >> Yeah. We have board policy. >> We have board policy backing basically. >> We need the June 18th

It's fine. >> That's the policies. >> It's all good. >> What is she saying? >> The only reason why I'm anxious to get through them is I have another batch coming out. >> No, don't worry about it. It's all good. >> Ask if we want to suspend the rules and um vote on the policies that we looked at tonight. >> That's okay. I would to suspend the rules. >> Hold on. Hold on. Yeah, we could do that.

094it but yes. >> That's everyone's first two years on the board. So don't feel bad. >> That's how I vote on every single thing. >> That's on record. We're glad you're here. >> Yeah. >> So, normally you don't understand what we just did or the polic The policy. I'm I'm trying to figure out what the >> what the purpose of it is overall general explan which there's multiple >> pest management, student health, vaccinations, access to buildings, security. I mean it seems like a hodgepodge and face all >> yes good question law that just >> so let me I'll explain it so um these are all existing policies that we have on record these are current these are already adopted board policies okay >> we subscribe to a service with the Oregon school boards association that
095monitors when statutes are changed or passed that would have an impact on our policies because if you look at the bottom of each policy, it has a listed OS or OAR um there. And so we subscribe to that service which um updates our policies for us um when that happens. And so any language that you see in these policies in red is language that helps get our policy in in alignment with the law essentially. So, um, now further exacerbating your confusion, I'm sure, is that normally we would take action on each of these policies individually. >> Cool. >> Just today at this meeting, we're changing our practice and we're approving the policies as a packet. So, we're so we're taking one vote to approve all of the policies at once. So, that's Yep. That's a
096change to how we've done it in the past. normally we have to vote on every single individual policy. Um, so we're just changing our that to be a little bit more efficient. Now, if there were ever a policy you wanted to separate out to vote on separately, anybody could request to do that. Kind of like the consent agenda in this case, as long as we're all good with all these policies, we're just we're just voting to pass all of them as one group of policies. I just was looking for some kind of commonality between pest control and there is there's no >> it's a fality piece. >> Yeah. >> So it's a fistful of policies and so I will vote yes under the veteran. Thank you. >> Thankf course. Yeah. And thank you for I
097appreciate you signing. >> Well and it's good. >> Yes. >> N think Nancy already voted yes right Nancy? Okay. >> Yes. Rick, >> yes. Don, >> yes. >> Rebecca, >> yes. >> I vote yes. Policies are approved. And I will see you all. Well, we'll see you next week for the student uh ref dinner >> for Saturday night. Saturday morning. >> Oh, yeah. Graduation. >> I'll see you there, too. And no, I'm not planning to cancel that. >> Pretend the student have dinner. >> Okay. Probably.
