001start tonight. The first item um is actually a public hearing for the 2025 2026 budget. So, if anyone here should speak on the budget none, the public hearing is now closed and we will start with the regular session. And the first item in business is centroid. Good evening board. It's good to see everybody. Hi Sarah. It's good to see my name, principal here at Phoenix Elementary. And it's just crazy to think that we're already like three days away from the end of the school year with our students. It's been quite a year. Lots of learning, lots of growing, lots of tears of joy and some tears of sorrow sometimes. But it's just been an incredible year for us. We have an amazing staff and I just want to give a big shout out to all
002of our families, our students, our staff for just this incredible year. Uh today we got to uh welcome the PHS seniors through our halls and we stole an idea that talent did where we took their kindergarten picture class pictures and their fifth grade class pictures and posted them and everybody was laughing. they haven't seen those pictures of themselves in a really long time. And then when they came through the halls, things have kind of changed a lot since they were here. But it was such a really uh what a great tradition it is for our students to get to see themselves um where they'll be in the future. It was a really fun event. And then uh Bubba, our child development special, placing this thing on Tik Tok where you like stage this little time
003machine where the kindergarters walk in and they come at us seniors. So we did did that. It was really special for just both the seniors and the kindergarten students. So, I just wanted to give that him a shout out. I gota get my computer back on. Um, my next positive is well, I I won't go into specific detail, but I want to we just looked at all of our data yesterday and we have some real bright spots and we still have some room for improvement, but I wanted to share a a specific bright spot. Last year, we had five newcomers come in our fourth grade class. So this year we have five students who is their second year here at Phoenix Elementary School and their growth is phenomenal. When I read to you scores like
004393% 371% 342% 341% and 292%. Those are their growth scores in ELA that won't show up on our ESVAC data but show that these kids have made two to three years growth in one year's time. Wow. And so that is because of the hard work of our teachers and the hard work of them and just showcases that that there's so much more than some of the data that you see. Um and so I just wanted to let it let that be the bright spot of the year that we have some really great growth and we have a lot to hang our hat on and we have a lot of room for improvement, but we're really proud of what we've done here at PBS this year. That's it for Oh, we do have field day tomorrow
005if you want to come check it out. It's always a hit. And who and then we also have kinder graduation next Tuesday and fifth grade graduation next Tuesday during the day. If you can make it, we'd love to have you back. Good evening everyone. Kent Faler, proud principal at Orchard Hill. Um I have some excellent uh some excellent news tonight regarding our preliminary ESPback scores. Um I'm just going to give you some of the data. It's not final. It fluctuates a little little bit but not not too much. Uh really proud of our entire staff and our aids and everybody that helps contribute to the academic success at Orchard Hill. So a few uh data points. Our third grade reading is one point one percentage point below the strategic plan goal of 45% and that's
006in 2027 as you guys know. So third grade reading came in at 44% meeting. um standard and currently the third, fourth and fifth graders combined in reading are three points above the Oregon state average. So I was thrilled about that. Another great uh statistic from the ESPback 38% of last year's fourth graders met as back in reading this year um last year that same cohort fourth graders last year were at 38. this year 62% of the men. Um so that's you know 24 percentage points is quite a gain. Um one class at Orchard Hill uh 80% of the students in that class met reading S5. Awesome. Um as we know math can be a little more challenging. Uh but we had some good growth in that. As a school we increased uh eight percentage points.
007Last year was 25% meeting this year 33%. Um and fourth and fifth grade increased significantly. Fourth grade achieved 22% last year and this year came up to 35% meeting. Uh this is another amazing statistic. Last year fifth grade in math 15% met standard. This year 29% are meeting and that's two points just two points below the Oregon state average. So really proud of our staff and everybody families kids that worked hard dedicated themselves and uh and your support as well. Oh, thank you. Good evening board. Happy spring elementary. Um, wow. We always do this. We go ditto ditto. Um, but I just, you know, like have some really exciting data coming out. I I'm not going to curse myself and say numbers. It's all preliminary, but just really some nice growth, especially in the area
008of math being. So really proud of my staff in that. We also did a data review yesterday. So just really fun to hear, you know, the successes and um celebrate the Harvard for our teachers and educators. Um today we did have field day. So a big shout out to Carly Richardson, our PE teacher, and um all of the TMS leaderships who came over and helped Rebecca who helped um we worked together to make it a really fun day for kids. Everybody's really tired. Um because you know during that we have also had the grad walk which is awesome and I just really appreciate the high school carrying on that tradition because we had a huge group. It was really interesting to see of all how many kids were at tees, you know, back in the
009day before we had all the weirdness. Um so that was fun. Cheers on both sides, you know, students, staff, parents, like it was just really special. So um thank you guys for against that. Um, this time of year is also when we get to do our end of the year evaluation uh meetings with our teachers. And it's just a time for us to sit down and really like hear from the how are you doing and really kind of let honor the work that they've done through intentionally and it's just um a deep pleasure to hear such professional discussions around student growth or they're holding space for like children. It's just it's it's magical and I've had some really cool conversations with our teachers. So um just grateful for those moments. Um, and yeah, I'm going
010to stop it. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, good evening board. Uh, Casey said, principal, proud principal of town middle school. Um, and short and sweet tonight really. I I know it's like every school can echo kind of the end of the year uh crazy and logistics and getting through and all that. Uh we have our field day uh tomorrow which will be my uh first field day experience at talent middle school. So I'll let you know my experience on that. Excited to again have fun opportunity for our kids. I say good luck. Thank you. Um and then we also have our eighth grade graduation promotion uh on Monday just to be able to honor them. And it is something like thinking through and I chatting with some of the eighth graders today and just with
011it being my first year and just being able to still build uh just some great relationships and great kids at the high school it's going to be getting. Um and I think when the grad walk came through just excited to continue my time here and see some of the kids that are going to be walking those halls that I that know them as they graduate and being able to experience that. Um and then I just wanted to give a shout out to one individual right now. Um, uh, Deian Tanner, she is our office manager. Um, and I've told her multiple times, I'm sorry a lot lately, keep me, uh, on track, keep me organized. There's just so many pieces that play. Without her, um, it would not happen for sure. Um, so just wanted to
012give her a few shout outs. And also just, uh, thank you to this team, thank you to the board. um you know as me reflecting on this year and just being again grateful to be in this community um and a part of what we do. So thank you. Good evening board. I'm actually the most proud person that got for my birthday yesterday. Um we also Yeah. Hi, thanks. Um, yesterday was field day for our spirit competition winners. And one of the things that I love the most about Phoenix High School since I've been there is watching the spirit grow. As you know, there is something to be said about legacies and traditions. And um, we definitely set a goal my first year and the seniors the sophomore year to increase spirit. And I would like
013to say that we have watched that happen. Um, so yesterday it was a great day. Um, the fire department came and they sprayed everyone with their fire hoses and we had just a ton. That doesn't sound fun, but I promise it is. Um, so I just wanted to thank our grad coaches, counselors, student management staff, um, and our seniors for just making yesterday so fun and exciting for students. We kind of joke like it's one of your last moments to be a child and have fun before you launch into the adult world. and they had a great time. Um, Bradwalk, as you heard already, was amazing as well. That happened this morning. Thank you to Joe Zavala for always capturing moments like this for students and families. Um, not everyone can get away and be
014part of that. And so, just being able to have some moments of watching those beautiful um, you know, transitions um, and rights of passage is wonderful. We want to shout out to James Joy and Brian McInness um, for running the elementary track event. We love having that on our campus. Um, and I know especially Coach Cornet loves having that on our campus. Um, and so we had a great time. I wanted to let you know that um, something else that I'm really proud of is our biiteracy seal achievements this year. Um, we've issued all and we'll celebrate the graduates this Saturday with that, but we beat our own record with 22 seals of biiteracy. Um, we want to thank Maria Lee and Maggie Taylor Cheek in supporting the testing of so many students to ensure
015that those things are documented um for them before they move on to their next um stage. And then I also wanted to let you know about a new tradition that we started this year, the white tassel. As you know, um the more things that you wear at graduation um the better is what the kids say. So they're always trying to earn new cords and tassels and pins and stoalls and I don't even know all the things. But we started the new tradition of a white tassel. Um and so it's first any students who exceeded or passed on their OSAS or Smarter Balance assessment. And this year we had 81 students uh who earned that white tassel. And you'll see those at graduation. So they've passed either one or more of the math, reading, writing, and
016science uh tests their junior year. So just a few things from DHS. See you have graduation on Saturday. Drink some water. Yeah. Evening board res academy. Apparently it's required to be proud now. So not apparently I'm moderately proud. I I'll work on the adjective. Um so just a couple quick heads up. First of all, we're going to be recognizing our kindergarteners, fifth graders, and eighth graders uh Monday at 6 o'clock here on the little wherever that little park is over there, Autocaster Park. Um it's kind of a sweet little ceremony. We're going to have a chance to recognize those classes. We've got some really cool kids in all of those groups. Um and both of our teachers do a really good job working with those kids and their families in most cases. It's as much
017a family job as it is student job. Uh and then speaking of our teachers, we are excited about welcoming a new middle school teacher next year. We're going to have uh that person's name in front of you guys uh as a recommendation to hire here soon. Um but we've got a really good one, I think. Um and that person of course is replacing Heather Schwat who has served our district for 32 years, 27 years at the middle school and then five years in PT. So um she has been a stalwart here in the district and done great work over the years. Um can't say enough about her. We've had so many families here in the last 5 years that said specifically they came to PT because they had experiences with her either as themselves as
018a student or their students previously. So, um she's just been a real asset to the district and I want to take one more chance to thank her for all of her service. So, that's it for me. Come on up. Thank you. Oh, I will say I'm the enthusiastic early learning director to talk about preschool for a minute. Um, we have our first prek graduation tomorrow, not to be left out of all the graduation festivities. We have 13 kiddos that are transitioning to kindergarten next year. And tomorrow is our little doot doop um prek graduation. And I'm super excited and just want to give a huge thank you to our staff um that have been preparing for just that have been amazing all year. and then preparing um for how we can squeeze in our families
019and celebrate our littles tomorrow as well. It'll be really fun and we're hoping to capture some wonderful amazing pictures and get them out there um with everyone else's. Um and in that I want to give a shout out to Mon'nique Strain who obviously is over here at district office but under that like other duties as assigned. She's the de facto uh preschool uh office manager. She came back this year and learned she had other duties assigned. Um, and she's just been super awesome all year, right? Doing all the records and all the things that we would think we need to do in the in the school situation. She's very crafty and creative. And so when you see the pictures and you see cute things, 100% not me. Um, definitely Mon'nique and the and the sashes
020and all the things. So, just want to give her a thank you for that. Also wanted to shout out Katie and Nubia with community care. Really quick, um, we somehow picked the best days to have our monthly community care corner. last week was 96 degrees. We also managed to have it on like like downs. So we um but last week we had our our monthly um community care corner 70 families um 70 students and family combination came through for for support. Um so just really proud we can keep doing that and Katie and Nia have done such a great job of keeping it stocked, helping us know what we need um and advocating for that. We just received an $1,800 check from the Bear Creek Valley Rotary to help support the corner specifically for diapers
021and wipes. Wow. And they also have made it their mission to figure out a way to support us with an awning to help with shade and rain over there, too. So, just shout out on that community career. And we'll be open in that um in that area for June, July, and August. Thank you. Amy here. No, she just Amy shared something from anything from the board. Okay. Um Okay. Next, I would like to welcome our new uh student reps from for next year and we will officially swear you in at your first meeting on the 4th. But um I see that we have Emily here in Lincoln and Rachel obviously will be returning. Um and um I had a graduation to attend in California and wasn't able to attend. But just want to welcome you
022all. Congratulations again and thanks for being here. And of course it's the last meeting for our super senior outgoing student reps. And um thank you so much for all of your you I mean just tremendous. Can't say enough about your level of engagement, the thoughtful questions that you asked, the meaningful contributions you made to the discussions that we had. We're going to miss you guys and uh you leave some big shoes to fill. So congratulations. Thank you. And with that, I'll turn it to you for your final student rep. Uh Jav and I actually wanted to give the floor because we're not gonna be coming back and it's time for time to shine. So yeah, we just writing speeches and joy. Yeah. Okay. Hey, so Ethan's not here, so I have kind of a bit
023a lot to say. Um we've had for the past two weeks, we've had our junior presentations. It's kind of like your preparation for your senior capstones. Um, and I've just like through watching like my own class, I've seen a lot of like growth from like freshman year doing presentations. And so just like a shout out to like Miss De and Miss Johnson for like really preparing her students for that really well because I it was just like phenomenal seeing like really good presentations as juniors and like I can't wait to see capston next year which tomorrow our beautiful seniors will be doing their capstones. Um, we had last Friday was our freshman field day that link crew hosts. Um, it was a really big hit. We had water slides, bounce house, and like snow cones
024and cotton candy, slip in slides. It was really great. It was really hot, like very hot. Um, but that's what the lobby is for. And then yesterday we had our senior assembly, which was lots of emotions in the air. Um, we got to watch our senior slideshow of all of our seniors. Very emotional. Um, and then they got to walk out to their field day. Um, and then we did our like transition walk where the juniors would go to the senior section and everything. So, that was a big moment. Um, we also had our senior awards night um where a lot of like just incredible students were recognized. Um, Tuesday was the spring sports awards night. Um, where we recognize the track and baseball, softball, and all the other spring sports. Um, and tonight is

It was delayed for a reason, but I'm really grateful to Miss Cross and Mr. joy for making it happen and recognizing that sport when we worked really hard for like our fourth place at state. So just recognizing that I'm really grateful to Miss C for that. Um yeah, that's all I have. Thank you so much. Well done.

026and to this day it's still very nerve-wracking to get in front of here and talk in front of a whole room of very smart um adults that help us every single day and guide us. But um I think we're better for it because we've been under you guys' help. And um just even being at the senior wars night the other day, I just see all the people that I grew up with and how much um this actually matters to all of us and how much it actually shapes us into who we are.

030forth to ensure that everybody can hear what is being said. Thank you, Nancy. Good afternoon. My name is [Music] I am here to tell you guys about my uh student who is supposed to be graduating this year. I feel like it's unjust um that my son wasn't able to do graduation. I don't feel like you received a lot of support here in the school. clear or parameters were set clear enough uh days away from his graduation before making a decision to expel him. I'm not from this school district. I feel like you guys have students from other districts and they don't [Music] matter. I think we are treated differently because they don't belong to this school district. I don't want any other student or any other parent to go through the to go through the
031trauma that we did. I feel like he was given false hope and then days away from graduation that was taken away from him. those days my son wasn't able to be talked about or he he couldn't talk about that that topic. If it was done to my son, I don't want that to happen to any other student because if it happened to my son, it'll happen to other students. [Music] I want everybody to be treated equally regardless of what district they attend or HIV attending. They all have rights. I felt like my son was not given that right. I have many other things to say, but I feel like I would never be done. Thank you. [Music] My name is I am a parent here at this school district of a high school and middle
032school. [Music] But we live in [Music] record and I'm here to support the center. Hello, my name is Sylvia. I am present here today because my kids are here today uh for discriminated against middle school. After that incident, another one happened with another substitute. They asked for help with a work that they had and they were put on a list of bad kids because they asked for help. and she spent all of the time, the class time doing something on her phone. That was worrisome. But what was more worrisome was the discrimination that they put up against my voice is [Music] very I have spoken to a different to be careful about who you hire. Another in another incident with another sub. He was asking to be called daddy and that he could give them
033his social media to contact them. I am asking for more support with supervision and security of that particular school. Anyone else who would like to speak? I want to say in the Spanish it's more practical for me. Okay. I am of my education to support these families. They are families and that gives me some red flags. But something's going on the board to support us so that this doesn't happen again of education. Thank you so much for listening. Um, I know we we don't normally respond to comments, but I'm just I heard some concerning things today that I'm hoping you could look into and report back to us. [Music] I I want to say that I'm grateful that you were vulnerable and came here to share this that means a lot. Any other comments comments?
034Okay. Uh, next is the superintendent report. Yeah. Thank you, Chair Camel. I have a lot of knowledge. Thank you for your leadership. Thank you for the courage to be able to come and speak. I know that's not easy. Um in your packets you have a report from John about some swimmer uh projects about facilities. Um even though we are uh near nearing the end of our bond funds, we still have a lot of activities um with a full summer crew ready to get going here in a couple weeks. Uh also in addition uh to your package, Project Youth Plus has included a flyer on all the uh updates that they've had over the last uh month. Um just quickly want to share uh that there is a academic calendar in your um packet. We have
035we've uh noticed that we are have some conflicting um trainings and PD that we want to do and so we want to modify the first day of new staff u to the Thursday of the week prior to think uh in service week instead of the Friday so that new staff can also take part in the CPI training. So, we will bring that back for an official action item uh so the board can officially adopt that for next time on June 18th. And then the final thing I have is uh if you haven't let Denise know if you're going or not going to summer OSVA uh conference, please do so as soon as possible there. Uh she's making arrangements for that um very soon. So, thank you. Any questions for Mr. Barry? Okay. Um, I know
036that Eden, welcome. I wanted to give you an opportunity if you had a report for the board. Okay. Well, I'm glad you're here. Well, I'm glad you made it. Thank you for being here and thank you for your service to the district and to your fellow students this year. A joy to have you. All right. Um, next item is the consent agenda. Do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda? No, you know how you do. I approve the consent agenda. Um the revised agenda is presented. I will second it. Okay. Any objections? Hearing none. The consent agenda is approved. Uh information and discussion. Legislative OCBA update. Um I apologize. I have I usually prep one and I did not. Um, as you may have seen, um, Senate Bill 916 passed the House today,
037which is the unemployment, um, striking bill. It's going back to the Senate because there were some changes in between and then it goes to goes on. So, there's still a chance that may not work. Thank you. So, that is the big news for today. um our region uh OSBA president Cronin um sent out a letter that she wrote to go to Congressman Cliff Vince. she asked everyone in the region to uh sign on and so I had uh several people respond and so that was sent off I think today um to ask to make him aware of the changes and how the federal funds is so important to our school and all the other smaller schools in the um region and I appreciate the feedback. there was something meth mentioned about Eastern Oregon and region
038folks said can we talk about this and OSBA is like yeah let's do whatever and we um rearranged the letter a little bit and by the way Phoenix talent since we have talked about this before and I'm so thankful for this board because I had a lot of board members like I don't know if I can say anything and I said well our board always talks about policy I pretty much know that like we can sign on to something that's funding wise we've already tked talked about that. So, I I asked I think I'm going to talk to OSBA, but I think it's important for board members to know where they stand and I really appreciate that we have these conversations all the time. And with that being said, Phoenix Kella as a school district
039signed the letter um because I knew that that's something that we would do and I talked with Brett and Mike that um so we signed on and hopefully he listens and that's all I have. Sarah, do you have anything? Thank you very much. Uh committee updates. Any committee updates? I have one. Okay, great. Um the safety inter agency meeting took place at the district office on June 4 was yesterday. There's a lot of talk surrounding mental health of students and families, embracing restorative practices, utilizing the our vast resources. Um, our community partnerships as well as safety drills and a reunification drill in early August. Um, our new Phoenix High School SRO, Officer Cooper Camps, will be going on paternal leave um before returning to the district for duty. And in that time period it would
040be officer hold. They'll be adding fentel testing strips at both the high school and middle school to the nar kits. Um Phoenix PD is adding two more officers by May of 26. um as they took in a large area north of town into city limits and are hoping for two more officers in June of 26 and endless school year. Thank you. Thank you, Rebecca. That's a really good segue into the next item, which is a request from Rebecca um that will take action on on the 18th to attend the 21st annual school safety conference for educators and law enforcement. Yeah, I asked Rebecca if she'd be interested in this because I think it's um we sent staff there, our SRO's go there. I think uh we glean a lot of information. I think it'd be
041very important and valuable for a board member's voice there and to bring that perspective back. So, um, happy that she was willing to be able to do that and, um, we'll consider this next time. That's awesome. Thank you. Um, we're scheduled to Are you going to put the I'm okay. It's in It's in our email, too. There we go. Got it. We're getting we're getting there. Okay. Uh no problem.
