We also do provide live streaming for our meetings. Links can be found on our web page under the board of directors tab or by going directly to our board meetings site through board docs. Um Barb, would you please take the role? >> Director Shelton >> here. >> Director Walker >> here. >> Director Rice >> here. >> President Beckett >> here. >> And vice or director Navaro Jr. is excused. >> Thank you. Barb, would you please um rise if able and join me in the pledge of allegiance? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to
003the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Our December character word of the word of the month is altruistic, demonstrating a selfless concern for the well-being of others. >> Today, the schools of the Yakma School District rest on the ancestral lands of 14 Confederated tribes and bands of the Yakama nation. The people of the Yakan nation inhabited more than 12 million acres across Adams, Benton, Chalan, Douglas, Franklin, Grant, Kittas, Kat and Yakoma counties. Adams, Ben, Chelan, Douglas, Grank, >> Today we honor those native peoples who are tied to the land through history, legends, and culture. >> We acknowledge our descendants who live in the world today. We thank the caretakers of this land who have lived here and continue to live here since time immemorial. respect
004>> and a step toward correcting the stories and practices that erase indigenous people's history and culture. It also honors the truth. As a school district, we will continue to build upon our relations with the Yakama Nation. Thank you, Barb. Um, in our board docs, uh, tonight is an obituary for Chandra Roxan S. And, uh, I want to call all of our board members attention to that. It is our practice when we lose a member of our Yakama school district family to take a moment of silence in their memory.

Uh but I really appreciate that. And I also would like to ask maybe
014one more round of applause for all of our students who do so well in our community. We have one more recognition and then we'll take a a break so that people can do do photos. But is is Mr. Beck here? Oh, good. Brian, would you please come up so I can embarrass you for a few minutes? >> Tonight we have the distinct honor of recognizing Mr. Brian Beck, music teacher at Davis High School, who has been named Washington Music Educators Association Music Educator of the Year. This award is one of the highest honors in music education in our state. The WMEA Music Educator of the Year Award is a public recognition that celebrates individuals who exemplify excellence in teaching and extraordinary service to their profession. These educators are not only making a powerful impact in
015their own classrooms and schools, but they are shaping music education across the region and beyond. Washington state is divided into 22 WMEA regions. Each honore represents the very best of their region. This year's recognition is especially meaningful as the WMEA awards committee received a record number of nominations from across the state, making this distinction all the more competitive and therefore a prestigious recognition. Mr. Beck stands out among that exceptional field. His work reflects not only technical excellence and instructional skill, but a deep commitment to students, to the art of music, and to the broader profession of music education. His influence extends well beyond his classroom, uplifting colleagues, inspiring students, and strengthening the cultural and artistic fabric of our schools and community. On behalf of the Yakima School District, this board of directors, and the community
016we serve, we offer our sincere congratulations and gratitude. Mr. Beck, we are incredibly proud of you. Thank you for your passion, your leadership, and for representing our district and your WMEA region. With such distinction, I would ask you to please join me in congratulating Mr. Beck, Washington Music Educators Association Music Educator of the Year. Well done. Congratulations. We're going to take about a a 7 minute recess to give everyone a chance to do some photos in front of the backdrop if they would like to. I encourage you to do that and we will reconvene in about 7 minutes. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll come back to order and we'll move into our regular agenda. The first uh item of business this evening is our annual board reorganization. This falls under our policy I believe
017it's 1210. And to begin with the board organization, we call for nominations for president of the Yakma School Board for the next year. Does anyone wish to make a nomination? >> Mr. President, I nominate Norm Walker. Norm has been nominated. Is there a second? >> I will second. >> Thank you, Director Shelton. It's been moved and it has been seconded. Are there any other nominations for president of the board for next year? >> I know, right? The poor the poor director who's not present is subject to a lot of torment right now. Hearing no other nominations, nominations will be closed. It's been moved and seconded that Norm Walker would serve as president of the Akimma School Board in 2026. Is there any discussion on the motion? Hearing none and without objection, we'll move to a
018roll call vote. Barb, would you please call the role for us? >> Director Shelton, >> yes. >> Director Rice, >> I. >> Does Director Walker vote? >> Yes, he does. >> Director Walker, >> I. and President Beckett. >> Happily I >> It passes four to zero. >> Thank you, Barb.

We're honored to have you serve as our legislative rep. Your years of experience will keep us well informed. Okay, moving on. We have two reports to the board this evening.
021We have uh global end statement 100.1.0, goal number three, and I believe Jamie Lee will be giving that report this evening. All right, good evening. Thank you for the opportunity to share on the ENDS report for goal three tonight. Um, of our five strategic plan goals, goal three reads that is the equitable opportunity to achieve core mastery. Tonight I want to um begin with some some data that we're all very familiar with and that is our summitative endofear smarter balanced assessment data. This data comes from our OSPI report card. So as you can see in the 2425 school year for English language arts fourth graders performed at 29% performing at a level three or four, seventh grade 30% and 10th grade 42%. In mathematics, fourth graders scored at 25% at a level three or four,
022seventh graders at 16% and 10th graders at 13%. And for the science assessment, fifth graders scored at a 32%, eighth graders at a 23% and 11th graders at 35%. In tonight's presentation, I will share a new approach that we are taking to look at data throughout the year. Global end statement or goal three specifically reads that all students will be empowered to own their education, meet or exceed standards, be critical and creative thinkers, seek solutions, and be advocates for racial and social justice. In the goal statement, I would like to focus your attention on the line that says meet or exceed standards. We have heard before that YSD re remains stagnant in the smarter balance assessment data. What I want to focus on this evening is how we are looking at data differently. The making
023progress determination that you see on the slide before you is based on the actions that we have taken in response to the smarter balance assessment data. You will see two data representations on the slide before you. If we look at SBA results alone, the progress can appear limited because it is a single snapshot in time. This year through our PLC process, we've been able to do something differently, something that YSD has not done before. We are looking at data by student by standard. So, what's before you is the Smarter Balance assessment data from last year's seventh graders. Next to that grid is a pie chart that shows those same students as eighth graders this year. And the data presented up there is specific to one standard and that is the eighth grade standard E.7 or
024point C.7 which is solve linear equations in one variable. However, that one statement is extremely deep when you dig into what the standard says. So what we have done is designed common end of unit math assessments for every single grade level kindergarten through 8th grade by our each of our guaranteed standards. So for eighth graders they took this end of module assessment. We collected the data by classroom by building and then this representation is every single YSD student. You can see that 35% of eighth graders met this standard. What this gives us the opportunity to do is look at the students who have not met standard yet and in real time provide an intervention and ongoing progress monitoring. So we can see that 50% of our students still need time to develop their understanding of
025this standard. And now we have the data to allow our teams to do just that. Across our schools, we've strengthened a coherent instructional cycle so that teachers and teams have actionable data grounded in the PLC process. They can regularly regularly analyze student student learning through the use of the common end of unit assessments and identify their specific instructional responses. This gives principles and teachers time to co-develop action plans uh based on evidence that ensures timely support for our students. Not only can we look at students that are going to then take the summitive assessment, but this gives us data to look at at students who we don't normally collect summitive data on. For example, our second graders. Not every assessment at the end of the unit has just one specific standard on it like you
026saw for eighth grade. So this example is for second graders and their common end of unit assessment for this unit had three standards that were assessed. Those standards are referred to as NBT1, MBT3 and NBT4. All around understanding numbers in the base 10 system. So looking at this data districtwide, we can see that our second graders did very well on NBT1 and NVT4. Then this data allows us to drill down and really focus on the fact that our students need more time in NBT3 which may be coming up in another module or it may all be something that we need to provide some targeted support on. Maintaining this momentum of looking by standard by student gives us the um the opportunity to provide that support. Thus creating a system where we're not surprised by our
027end of the year data because we have provided the intervention along the way giving us the opportunity to target that intervention and consistently follow through so that the gaps shrink and narrow by the time we get to that summitative assessment. There are some highlights that I'd like to present to you through this um this new opportunity that we've developed and that is that our primary data when we look at the data that we're collecting we are seeing um increased proficiency in in the specific guaranteed standards and this is giving us the opportunity to sustain and elevate that performance through progress monitoring prior to that endofyear summitive assessment data. So if you think back to the slide that I presented where our seventh graders are now eighth graders, we have the opportunity to do something prior
028to that summitive assessment data. So we can respond more quickly. This has also given us the opportunity to look at district-wide data. So there is a spreadsheet where every school is represented by grade level and we can leverage that data to inform principal and teacher actions and strengthen accountability and and drive those improvements. I wanted to give one example today that a principal had shared with me yesterday as she was looking at one of her grade level teams datas and they happened to be the lowest performing um school just specific to that that standard. And she even prior to meeting with her team was already developing an action plan in her head because to her uh she wanted to know what the other schools were doing in in order to achieve a 70% uh rate
029at benchmark or an 80%. And that is really the goal of the data is that our buildings are seeing where the successes are and then they're tapping into each other to learn what instructional strategies or supplemental resources they're using. So that that shared accountability is um really a celebration because our principles are now asking um what's happening with those that are having success. And then I also have the opportunity to be the lead on goal three and through the stakeholders that are present on that committee. They are asking questions on how we expand the community commitments within goal three beyond the state assessments so that we can focus on the progress over time and the growth that students are experiencing. Additionally, we have a couple of opportunities before us and that is to um look
030at the trend data that we have in in Yakama school district has seen the same trends that we've seen statewide and within our ESD 105 and across our county where after COVID scores dropped and and really have have maintained there hasn't been much movement either way. The opportunity for Yakimal School District lies in that's not okay. we don't want to maintain um that trend and through this new way of looking at data we will be able to move students by standard and um get out of the trends that we're seeing across our county. Another opportunity is to continue to develop the end of unit math assessments through high school and our goal is to have full implementation for those common endofunit assessments in algebra geometry algebra 2 for second semester. Additionally, in the spring and
031summer, we will begin this work for our our literacy assessments. Well, that concludes my presentation. Any questions? >> Thank you. Are there any questions or comments from the board? I just wanted to thank you Jamie for for your team's efforts in making sure that we are able to review the growth and celebrate the accomplishments of every student for every standard. I think that's really important um to be able to to recognize the individuals that our students are and target them where they need to be targeted and celebrate them where they need to be celebrated. Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions or comments from the board? >> Thank you so much. Thank you. >> Next up, we have Dr. Lucero with the annual SIP report, which is SIP is school improvement
032plans for those of you in the audience that are tired of acronyms. >> Good evening. Thank you for the opportunity to present on our school improvement plans. Typically on this evening, u we also uh ask the board for approval of our school improvement plans and you did approve those um last month. Thank you. I do want to start by uh thanking our school leaders, our principles and assistant principles and their instructional leadership teams as they are the engine that drives um their their school improvement efforts and it truly is not an easy task. Um as I'll explain this evening, the school improvement plan is a living and breathing document. So, as Jamie mentioned, the ongoing analysis of data, she highlighted math. We do that across content areas and responding to not only individual students, but
033also to subgroups of students who have historically uh performed at lower levels than other students. And so on this first slide, uh really honing in on the essential elements of continuous school improvement. At the very top you see there that our efforts always start with strengthening tier one instruction. As as we do that and analyze data then we also take a look at additional supports that we might offer during tier 2 or tier three instruction. And that is highlighted there with the implementation within a multi-tered system of supports. Specifically, our instructional leadership teams identify specific strategies and interventions that they are going to implement to ensure that students are growing. Districtwide professional learning communities has been very impactful in the growth that we are seeing with our students specifically with the time devoted on Mondays
034answering the four PLC questions and on Wednesdays with teams engaging in the creation of PLC products. briefly here, just a reminder that this year is a year of support, meaning that our schools that have been identified on the Washington school improvement framework for needing to support to grow, excuse me, in particular areas. Um, they're continuing that work that that occurs on a three-year cycle. Our next year for identification is the 2728 school year. And then just an overview of the different tiered supports. You'll learn here in a couple of slides that we do have several schools who have been identified as needing find um they're at the foundational eligible support, meaning they're not identified for tiered supports. And then the other areas down from tier one needing tier one supports to tier 3 plus supports.
035So here you see the schools um that have been identified as well as their um you'll see in bold McKinley Elementary is a tier three plus and you'll see on the next slide for secondary also a few schools in bold as our educational funding continues to experience challenges um the the funding that we receive also decreases. So currently only our schools identified as tier 3 plus accountability and supports are eligible for um state funding and our district continues to not receive districtwide funds. So these are our elementary schools here. Our secondary schools, so the three bolded at the bottom are eligible for funding. We actually received notification today that um our application has been approved. So again, thank you to our principles for um meeting all of the requirements that have allowed us to receive
036that additional funding, which for our district totals $310,000. and certainly very proud of the efforts of all of our schools, including our foundational schools who they're not off the hook. Um like everybody else, they um in the business that we're in with humans that we are working with and the needs that vary year to year, the continuous improvement efforts also are essential in our foundational skills to ensure that they maintain the status of foundational And just a summary here of our school improvement goals by focus. You can see uh the number of schools that have different goal areas. On the second column there at the bottom, our par I've noted there that our primary academic focus areas are literacy and math. And then our primary non-academic focus areas are attendance and social emotional learning. And
037you do have access to a summary of all of our district school improvement plan goals. And last month you uh received links to all of the full school improvement plans for each of our schools. And in total, we have 83 goals that our schools are working towards um meeting by the end of the school year. >> What questions might I answer for you? >> Are there any questions or comments from the board? >> I don't necessarily have any questions, but I'm going to tell you this is an a monumental effort in data gathering. So, um, thank you for, um, for sharing all of this with us and for, um, to the schools for putting together those school improvement plans. Those things are beastly. >> They are. >> And it takes a lot of time. It
038takes a lot of brain power. It takes a lot of effort to put together those school improvement plans that are what 30 some pages long. I mean >> they can be. Yes. >> It's just amazing. So, thank you for sharing all of that with us. >> Thank you. >> May I? >> Yes. >> Dr. Dr. Lucero, just two two points that are I think so interesting to me are always attendance and family engagement and the improvement plans, you know, get into that on a little tiny tiny bit. I guess my biggest question is always what does family engagement really look like building by building? What's in in general terms? We've heard from some of our principles as we've done site visits some of the some of the outreach they do. But in in general from
039a district perspective, what does family engagement really look like? >> I think that from a district perspective, family engagement really looks like connecting with our families in the way that makes sense for them. So oftentimes we think about family engagement in a traditional sense such as an open house or a math family night or a steam night. And I'm not saying that those aren't important because they they certainly are. But I would say that what's equally as important is being out in the morning, which we see our leaders doing. um calling families when there's a concern, whether it's academic or non-academic, and really just establishing those ongoing relationships and maintaining two-way communication with our families to ensure that they really are fully informed about who their child is as a student and beyond is how
040I would summarize from a district perspective. >> Thank you. I I I feel like there's just a lot more that goes on that maybe we aren't aware of >> at this table. Um cuz what like I say, when we're in those buildings, we hear snippets and it it is impressive to me. I just um I want to wrap my head around that a little bit better about what um you know, what we could do to support that even better. >> Thank you. >> But thank you. Yeah. Any other comments or questions? >> Okay. Thank you so much. I do I'd like to make one comment when when we talked about sometimes people question the need for uh or investing in things like social emotional learning and PBIS. But when you look at the data with
041our discipline report, which is at the bottom of your um board documents, there's some really nice trends happening with discipline and in terms of reduced number of incidents of of discipline. So I think that speaks to climate in the schools and to the efforts around positive behavior and around social emotional learning. So, we keep paying attention to those even though >> funding for those things is not >> popular right now as much. >> Thank you. Next up, we have do we have updates from members of the board? Last week, um, we met as an ESD. It was organized at the ESD level with a number of our legislators, our local legislators, and had an opportunity to um introduce ourselves to some new ones that we haven't interacted with yet. and also to connect with some
042of those that have been around with us a little bit more. Um, as well as hear from them what their focus will be for this next legislative session which starts on and like a month or less. Um, and it's a s short session. So 60 days from start to finish hopefully. Um and they're going to have to hit the ground running because there are a lot of needs not just in education but across the whole spectrum of state funding. And everybody's going going to be there with their hand out saying we need this for that and we need that for this. And um education even though it's the the u primary responsibility of the state quite often doesn't doesn't end up as the primary responsibility of the state for funding support. So, um we will
043there will be opportunities for school directors to um call in to committee meetings and testify. You can testify over the over Zoom, which if the w winter ends up being like the winter is starting out as um might be a a much preferred option. um as opposed to driving for 3 plus hours and for a less than 5 minute presentation to the legislature. So once session starts, I will have um more comprehensive updates than what we have now and we'll let you know when when our voice is needed and working with Superintendent Green um in his work with the legislators. >> Thank you. Any other u updates from board? >> Not necessarily an update. I just have to um brag a little bit. The uh Davis High School show choir performed at a community service
044club holiday party just last week and um this cadet was very proud to watch the pirates perform as well as they did. So if anyone sees or knows Shannon and can tell her congratulations um that club was still talking about that performance a week later as of today. Um and it was it was just so cool to stand in the back of the room and watch those kids perform so professionally. It was very very well done. So, I enjoyed that very much. Thank you. >> Thank you. Any others? Okay, Dr. Green, superintendent's update. >> Yes, thank you. Um, I will pass the time over just briefly to uh our attorney here, Bob. No, to talk about PRRS. And while I'm doing that, that would be public record requests. I'll have um Kirsten Fitter come to
045the uh podium uh as she'll do some followup on the uh school improvement plans. Bob, >> thank you. Uh you'll find in your agenda packet the monthly update on the public records processing. Uh you'll see that last year we processed a total of 135 uh records requests. This year year to date we've already have 185 which is um quite a bit more than last year. But you'll also see that despite the uh increased volume, we're still processing a vast majority of the requests within 10 working days. So, we're still able to ma maintain a good pace at getting these things processed and getting records to people that need those um as quickly as possible. If you have any questions, let me know. Thank you. >> Thank you, Bob. Uh Kristen, >> thank you Dr. Green.
046I wanted to follow up on uh Maria's presentation on the SIP plans because um it is important for compliance that we do post those to the website. They are very large documents and I wanted to um pay respect to our language access professionals who have now translated all of them. Some of them being 60 pages in in length and they are um in the queue to be posted to the website. They will be on um all of the school's website in a new page under the information tab called school improvement plan. So, I invite our community to be able to access that information there and that will be posted no later than this Friday. >> Thank you. Uh at this time, uh I'd like to share with the board um an update on our on
047our strategic plan. As you're well aware, we have set aside uh one month for each of the four goals to uh be an update month for uh each of the four groups. And uh this month it falls on goal team number two of the strategic plan refresh and that is Omar Santoy, Aaron Thomas and Kristen Fitter. Please time is yours. There you go. >> There you go. All right. Good evening, uh, President Walker, members of the board, superintendent greed cabinet. Uh, my name is Omar Santoy. Um, I serve as the executive director of student services here with the district. Uh, presenting with me tonight are Kristen Fitterer, our executive director of communications and engagement, and Erin Thomas, director of student services. Uh, the three of us uh are serving as assigned leads for uh goal
048number two in the strategic plan refresh process. Um, this evening where we put together a brief update for you uh just on our team's work and the progress that we've made uh to date. So I want to start with just our team composition and how our team is uh engaging in this process. And so I want to begin by highlighting who is actually doing the work. And so uh this slide shows the members of the goal two team participation has been strong both in person uh through meeting attendance um and or electronically through our canvas course uh surveys and or um there's been a lot of email communication feedback uh and input uh sent through through email communication. Um our team reflects a broad cross-section of our school community. Uh it includes parents, certificated and
049classified staff. We have union representation. Um on our team, building administrators, district administrators, a representative from our faith community uh is serving alongside us. Uh we also have strong participation from community partners. Uh most of those being community service agencies including Neighborhood Health, uh Department of Children, Youth, and Families, the Yakimma Sports Commission, Camp Hope, and the Salvation Army. One aspect that we've been especially um val that we especially value is school board representation. uh Director Rice has been uh deeply committed to uh this work and and uh working alongside us and it's been really amazing to just hear her perspective uh as we engage in these conversations but also for uh her to um listen to the perspectives of others uh in our group uh and and uh voices from our community. Um and
050then most importantly we have student voice represented. Uh our students uh that have been participating have been primarily around um middle school age and high school age. Um and they've engaged all again in in person and or uh online um or electronically uh through uh the various methods canvas surveys um and whatnot. Um, and more recently we have engaged with the ECMA school district student senate. And so we're really proud of uh of uh that group. And I'm going to invite uh Kirsten uh Fitter to share a little bit about our student senate. >> We are intentionally bringing student voice into goal two. Our student senate is helping us do that in a concrete way. Last week, student senators took a short survey focused on goal two so we can better understand what helps students
051feel connected, supported, and empowered at school and what barriers still exist. We will use their feedback to strengthen the language of the goal and to sharpen the success measures so they reflect real student experience, not just adult assumptions. For context, goal two in our strategic plan is students, families, and staff feeling empowered, connected, supported, and engaged. And as our community, our committee has found out in plain language. Goal two is about belonging, trust, and two-way connection. When this goal is strong, students know at least one adult has their back. Families can access information and support without friction, and staff feel informed and equipped to serve students well. Now that we're familiar with uh the goal that we are refreshing, goal number two, uh I want to briefly just take a moment and uh just speak
052to the measures uh up for success and and how we are measuring uh progress toward this goal. Uh currently we have our 2026 community commitments and uh those commit commitments read at least 19 out of every 20 students or 95% uh will attend school at least 171 days out of 100 days per school year. That is our first commitment. The second measurement that will be uh that we will be refreshing is at least 19 out of every 20 students or 95% would agree or strongly agree to the survey questions. I feel safe at school. Um and I feel connected to other students and adults at school. As a part of this process, both of these community commitments will be updated alongside of the goal and in alignment with the goal. um and the priorities that
053our team identify uh will be made uh present in in that goal revision. So with that context, I would like to just turn over uh some time over to Erin Thomas who's going to walk with the uh walk us through the process that we are following for the revision. >> Yes. My the best part is the process part. So I'm excited about sharing this with you. Um first of all I just want to share so um the process that we're using is not something that we created on our own. We can't take any credit for it. It's actually the improvement science process or you will have heard like the continuence improve continuous improvement process and that is the same process that our buildings use to create their school improvement plans. So it's all aligned. So
054the first step is the analysis of the district strategic plan. So it's really important that we know the whole of the plan before we start breaking it down into parts. And so we look at that whole plan, how it's organized, and then what role does our goal play in that bigger plan. The second step is um a close review of the goal itself. So during this review, we do a process similar to what a teacher does when they're taking a learning standard and breaking it down into learning targets. We take the goal and we analyze the goal and then we break it down into its components based on what the goal is asking. And so we call that deconstruction. And so if we look at goal two, we would find four major components that we
055are asking under that one goal. So it's kind of like four separate goals all wrapped up in one. And so we take that uh those components and then we conduct a needs assessment and with each component we are looking at uh multiple sets of data trying to figure out where where we are at what is our current reality and um based on that analysis we can figure out what our priority is and then we will be able to move on to the next step. We're nearly done with the needs assessment. were very close. Um, but the fourth step is root cause. So during a root cause analysis, this is where we dig deeper to understand why gaps exist. So if we look at a component, let's say that the component asks for all students or
056100% of students to meet this goal. If a 100 stu if 100% of students are expected to meet the goal and our data shows that 60% are currently meeting the goal, then that means that we have a gap of 40%. And so the root cause analysis enables us to figure out why is there a gap and then when we have the four different components one or two may stand out as a higher or greater need. And so that's what the analysis that we are we are completing right now is we're trying to figure out what are the priorities. Why is this happening? And then once we figure out why then we can go to our theory of action. And the theory of action is where you again you're looking at the the needs and you're
057trying to figure out why are we having this problem? What is causing that great gap? And you try to come up with a solution. And with that information plus we would be also looking at like the indicators and the professional practices and the community commitments. We'd be looking at all those things. And when we answer those questions as to why and what we think is going to work to solve it, then we are ready to refresh the goal to update the goal. Not a full rewrite, but based on our data analysis, we will be updating the goal. And the final part is our updated goal then becomes part of the updated strategic plan. And then our schools use that goal to align their improvement efforts again. So we begin the process all over. and they
058are doing the same thing that we're doing on their school improvement plan that we're doing with the school process. So that is the those are the six steps that we are utilizing and then again we are right about at step four in our process. So that is our process. Do you have any questions for me or for any of us? And and when is the the what's the timeline for completing this entire process? >> We hope to be done in February. We will be done in February. >> All right. Thank you so much. Um really appreciate uh the three coming up here. Uh just speaks very highly of the efforts that are being made. This is one of four teams. Um and we're excited to just have that update. And uh just would call out
059as well that every update is different because they're at a different place in time over the four months. And yes, all four of the goals should be updated uh by February and presented to the board. Uh other items that I'd like to share with you today just very briefly, uh it was mentioned the student senate, so I thank Kristen Fitter for mentioning that. So we did have a student senate session. Uh we have 12 um uh uh fellows this year, student fellows. Uh we're looking very forward to engaging with them. and we have about the same number working on other components. Uh part of the process of engagement with respect to our students is a co-design model. So not only do they identify the issues that are impacting them in uh as constituents and people
060that we serve within our system, but they're also then designing uh and leading uh the resolution of those problems. So, um we're grateful for their contributions and we look forward to the continued development of the student senate as we evolve more fully in our student voice uh approach. Uh also to just share with you uh our our um um faith-based partnership continues to grow. We heard Omar mention that we have uh faith-based partner as part of their group. Uh I was able to attend First Presbyterian with um Doug Kapliki, Principal Kapliki at Adams and um uh speak to two congregations about the contributions that they were making to the Adams community as far as gifting and raising funds to support students that were having challenges and uh we're just very grateful for the continued support
061that we received from all of our faith-based partners. And it was just so happened that it was focused recently on First Press and the work that they're doing around Adams. uh by way of uh kind of folding in the mention of attendance that uh Omar also mentioned uh I've reached out to OSPI as you may recall the numbers that we have on our attendance uh document for the ends goal gives us two readings we have the skyward reading that we share with you but we also have the OSPI measurement which is much more uh convoluted and uh difficult to understand uh so we do have an appointment set up Erin Thomas uh we will be engaging ing with OSPI and credit to them uh as they are willing to have conversations around uh what we
062can do to more effectively measure um what attendance actually looks like. So, we're hopeful uh and we'll put in the work to see if we can make an adjustment there. Uh yesterday, I was able to travel to the University of Washington and do some preparatory work with David Knight uh Dr. tonight in moving the coalition of superintendents uh from primarily from the west side but statewide uh towards a framework uh that would be implemented within the next 5 years. Um proud of the work that we're we're we're putting forward. We have a uh session scheduled in March and another one at the end of June, June 30th and July 1st after the WASDA was conference. Uh so that uh continues to grow and is gaining momentum as we see more faith uh not more faith-based
063but more community- based uh organizations or philanthropic foundations uh take interest in that. So uh there's that component. Then the last item that I would share with you around the legislative moves is um just today actually I was in contact with our uh two districts uh the largest districts in the state in uh Seattle and Lake Washington. And uh I was on a session this morning with about 20 superintendents to address the construction needs that are happening uh as led by the Lake Washington superintendent, which is really interesting because Lake Washington is one of two sto school districts in our state out of the 295 districts that that do not run a bond. And the reason that they do not run a bond is that they are so large and have such a huge tax
064base uh that they do not have to reach the 60% threshold to build buildings. they can pass a levy and 50% and gather enough income uh to uh impact uh the construction that they have in place. Uh so it was really uh surprising to have Lake Washington involved in that. So I think it speaks to the problems that we don't know that happen in districts that have even easier metrics to meet uh that aren't the high bar of um um a supermajority. Uh, as far as the Seattle superintendent, he is not yet uh in his new position. I believe he takes uh uh his position March 1st. Uh, but he has reached out from Michigan to find out more about the coalition of superintendents and uh I think having him on board would speak volumes
065as well because uh Seattle is certainly a different u animal when you're talking about the legislative impact that they have in the state and uh um we'll see if he's able to navigate that and be a part of that group. But um it would be very beneficial. Uh lastly, just in mentioning um the the um the bond uh uh that that we're going forward with in April, I've been able to present at about oh, I think it's been about four schools right now. I'm scheduled out to give factual information regarding the bond and uh what that would mean to our community. Just to put things into perspective, Mount Reineer High School in Seattle uh has over 1,000 under 1,000 students and uh their high school project is a $297 million project for that one school.
066So, we're talking about a $200 million project for the Yakima School District, which would be two elementaryaries and also um ADA compliant playgrounds and everything else that uh we have shared previously. But maybe the most glaring indicator that I'd just briefly like to share with the board is the discrepancy of what we see in state and local funding statewide. So if we were to take um I'll just pick one of these um uh Vancouver uh receives $2,267 more per student in state and local funding than the Akima school district. If we had the same funding for our students that Vancouver has for their students, that would mean $35 million more per year for the Akimma School District. Um Spokane, it would be $45 million more per year. Isqua, $12 million more per year. Um and
067if you look on the east side of the state, Kenowick $4 million more for than we have based on their student uh state and local and Pasco almost $13 million. So the discrepancy certainly the state funding model with local and um as well as uh state funding is uh not equal nor is it equitable and uh that's part of what we're addressing uh systemically uh with both the uh uh coalition of uh superintendent in our group but uh various others as well. So thank you. Uh that concludes my update and um I certainly answer any other questions or uh either here or offline. >> Are there any questions for Dr. green at this point. Okay, thank you. >> Thank Thank you. Uh last item then apart from that report is just to share that uh
068today marks uh uh certain metrics here for us. Um uh 6 and a half years ago uh Anthony Marietta came on board. Um traveled from across the state, retired from his position there serving in um um um Teamster Local 763 as president and uh came over here to um change his career and u make a difference uh on the management side and u we're grateful for his contributions. uh when he came on board, we had numerous contracts that were outdated. Uh one, I believe as many as seven years. Uh he's been able to uh work effectively with our our 11 different bargaining units and associations. And uh we are up to date on all of our contracts uh or except for the openers this year. And it has been consistently that way over the course
069of his last six and a half years here. So he'll be sorely missed. It's not just about the negotiation process. It's about uh certainly the connections that he has made, the sincerity that he brings into the position. Um the stories that he tells which we all love and how he connects those to uh lessons learned uh and leadership and um certainly uh also the contributions not only in HR but uh in operations uh serving in grounds custodial maintenance uh capital projects uh and now transportation and I'm probably missing something. So, I just want to I just like to call that out and uh give our gratitude to Anthony and I'm sure that we will have him back maybe after his uh uh three or four month hiatus to properly celebrate him at the end of
070the year. So, thank you. >> Well, speaking for myself personally and for the board, we will miss Mr. Maretta deeply in this district. Okay, next step. >> Mr. President, may I have a moment of personal privilege in regards to Mr. Marietta? I I will never forget when I first joined the board, one of the first tours that we did to get acclimated and get acquainted. Um, the way you spoke about how our community should care about our facilities and how our facilities should present themselves to the public and the taxpayers who own them really resonated with me. And as somebody who's lived here my entire life, gone through school here, um I don't necessarily believe that we have embraced that pride uh until you helped articulate that to everyone that works in our district and
071everyone who owns the buildings in our district, the properties that we own. Um and I as a taxpayer admire that as a real estate guy, I kind of dig that. and it was it was a a wonderful uh introduction to the way you looked at your job and I just want to say thank you very much for everything you've done for us. Thank you. >> Thank you. Okay, next up we have highlights for community engagement. The calendars are in your board docs. It's primarily I think there are a few concerts going on still and mostly athletic events. I is there anything we need to highlight Kirsten or are we pretty well covered? >> Yes. Okay. Financial update. We have Susan Fate is here in place of Jay Cooper who was chasing kangaroos I believe or
072something. >> That was going to be my opening line. He's down under. Not under the weather physically down under. Uh members of the board, cabinet, um just here to present the November 2025 um budget status financial update. Um this is the information you receive every month. So this is for the month of November. Oh, thanks Barb. I have the clicker. Um so some item of interest is that our cash balance is in line with our projections. Um and then last month, uh Mr. Cooper talked about some adjustments we'll be making um to enrollment counts that will make some of those counts go up a little bit. Um so we're still working on those um to get those finalized and up to the state. Uh this is the 5-year actual FTE. This is K12 and AL
073enrollment. AL stands for alternative learning experience. And so some of the the things under alternative learning are a Kate virtual or Yakum online or open doors and then we've got a really good parent partnership um that uh Brenda has done a great job on this year. Um so our enrollment is um under our projections which we've already talked about since the beginning of the year but it's at least consistent and um not seeing any big dips at the moment. Uh this is just looking at the actual FTE enrollment. It does not include the skill center. Um it's an average comparison. So it takes what we budgeted and then it takes the average from September through November. Um and it's based um basically like I just said projections versus actual. Um so uh we are down
074a little bit but it's been it's consistent. Um, and we've talked about that in the past. Uh, so we did over project enrollment a bit. Uh, but we're trying to pick that up with the K virtuals, the AL, um, YVT Tech. U, there's a lot of stuff that Bonnie Smith's doing with CTE that's helping out our numbers as well. This is our our cash flow. Um, so our cash flow um, right now is as projected. uh which is which is good. So we're just still in line with what our projections are. So we don't have any concerns there at this time. This is our general fund revenue budget versus actuals. Um on average this is lower than budget but however on the next slide we'll see that our um expenditures are less than budget as
075well. So, they are netting each other out to where we are actually um under budget even though we have a little less revenue coming in. And we should see that go up a little bit next this month of December um as we had some some grants that just got approved that we'll be able to claim September and October November for and then this is the overall expenditures. Um like I said on the last slide, these are running less than projected. Um and then November was a little bit higher because that's when we do a lot of the VIBA um payouts for the contracts and any ne there was some negotiated contracts and then we also had retropay for those in November. This is um the trend for our Mox. So this is just your materials,
076your supplies, and your overhead cost. Does not include your payroll. It's running under budget right now. Um, so material, supplies, and overhead costs are about 18% of our budget and payroll runs about 82% of our budget, which is pretty pretty standard in this industry. So we're pretty in line with those percentages. Do you guys have any questions for me? I tried to slow it down last time I did this. >> Any questions or comments? >> Susan, is is Viva just paid out annually? >> Um, no. Viva's paid out every month, but per some of the negotiated agreements and what gets bargained, then that gets paid out in a lump sum. >> Gotcha. Okay. Thank you, >> Susan. Um, for our viewing public, those that might not be aware of what the parent partnership is, that's
077operated through so the parent partnership um is operated through the Kate virtual site. And so the parent partnership is where we have kids that are homeschooled. And so we get a portion of their FTE cuz they come in for math or science or um music. So, um, Brendan and her team have done a really great job about growing that this year and getting more of those kinds of folks on board so we can get some more of our FT back. >> Thank you very much. >> You're welcome. >> Any other questions or comments? Okay. Thank you, Susan. >> We have arrived at our first opportunity for comments from the public on agenda items only. Do we have any? >> Not at this time. >> Okay, we have no one signed up. We then arrive have
078we'll move to the consent agenda. And on the consent agenda this week, we have approval of minutes for November, notification of approval of the warrants for November, approval of personnel actions, approval of out of endorsement assignments for the 2526 school year, budget status reports for November, and that's our consent agenda. Is there any request to remove anything or discuss anything from the consent agenda? Okay. Do I hear a motion? >> I move the board adopt the consent agenda as submitted. >> Second. >> It's been moved and seconded to adopt the consent agenda. Any other discussion or question? All in favor say I. >> I. >> All oppose say nay. The motion is passed. Four to zero. We now have the second opportunity for comments from the public. >> Do we have any takers? >> Yes,
079we do. Steve. >> Okay. Okay. Mr. Steve McKenna. testing. Um, my name is Steve McKenna. Uh, I'm a retired teacher, former YA president and, um, also a taxpayer in the Yakima School District. And, um, I'm concerned. Um, the district seems to have a problem handling handling large influxes of money when the federal government gave the district over 86 million additional dollars during the COVID years. That was in addition to the usual federal state levy and other funds. A year later, the district had the first and largest of three riffs. Um even though the school levy had passed, these risks were due to um in my opinion definitely um poor planning, hiring excessive amounts of personnel on soft money, creating new programs with declining enrollment. Um, and now the board wants the community to fund a
080uh a large bond to build two elementary schools and meet some other district needs, which definitely we have the needs. But as a taxpayer, I would like to know why the voters should trust the district and the board to handle huge amounts of money from the bond. The voters will need to approve. In 2020 when I retired, the district had had very preliminary discussions about closing an elementary school. Um, and I know that those discussions have continued in some cases. Um, enrollment is declining for the um for the previous five years and especially in the elementary grade levels. Uh, I know that the kindergarten um numbers are lower than the senior graduating numbers and so over time that'll make a huge difference. And by the time these new elementary schools are built, will the district
081still need all of the elementary buildings? And I don't know if that's been really discussed. Um because it would really be a shame that if they built two new buildings and closed some elementary buildings uh in addition to those um we just spent a lot of money that could have been done something much uh more financially viable could be done. So anyway, I'm just letting you know that. Thank you. >> Thank you. And Dr. Green, would you like to respond? >> I I think it's good to just uh take the opportunity to just call out some uh uh information for the public. So, I appreciate um Mr. McKenna coming from CILA to share that perspective. Um when I I I taking taking what he asked, which is why should the public uh trust? And I
082think when you look at the top 25 districts, if Mr. Mc Mckenna were up here, I would ask him how many bonds we have run in the last 15 years and the answer would be zero. And if you look at the top 25 districts in the state of Washington, the answer would be anywhere from one to four, which sometimes equates to over a billion dollars for different communities. So when you're looking at a community like Yakama, which has been so conservative about any type of request of the public and very sensitive uh towards taxes, uh it has basically force the district to use funds that aren't available for capital projects or updates. And I do believe that Mr. McKenna should be well aware that over 20 years ago a bond was out there for several
083elementaryaries. And so here we are 20 years later and while we do have declining enrollment, it wouldn't be out of the question. It's certainly not in the plans of anyone to open a school and close one. But 20 years ago, we had four to five schools that needed to be replaced at the elementary level. And we're certainly not even looking at uh uh that possibility of closing, you know, multiple schools or even one school at this point. So, we could certainly deal with hypotheticals and um I understand how entertaining that is. Uh but it's also important to base factually that uh um the tax rate of what we have now um if we were to pass a bond as a community would not even approach closely pro approach what we were paying as a community
084from 2015 to 2018 which was well over $4 um per thousand. So this would put us at about $3.84 per thousand once uh the bond passes. So, I'm happy to discuss that with him offline if he so chooses, but I do appreciate the opportunity to uh address uh some of the issues that he brought up here publicly. Thank you. >> Thank you. Next up, we have three items in policy governance. We have three policies that are up for review. Um they're in your board docs. There's board members code of conduct, board committee principles, and board committee structure. I believe the board of conduct. The last time we reviewed it, we updated it at that point the last time we looked at that policy. So, >> yeah, we have this on a quarterly review, I think.
085>> Yeah. So, I don't know if the board is interested on continuing a C um the current review cycle or um extending that so that it's maybe twice a year or even once a year. >> Yeah, >> that would be something to consider as we review that. I should say at the Yeah, it was updated in 20 2020, right? Okay. So, if you read through and see anything that you would like to change or alter or improve in those policies, um you can make those comments in the survey monkey will come out this week. The other two policies, the committee policy, we haven't, in my terms on the board, we've not used the committee process. We have neither formed a committee or um or felt the need to. So, the policies are there just in
086case, but again, look through them and and if you see any changes, you can respond on the survey. I don't see the need to read those policies through tonight. Any other questions about those? >> Survey Monkey will come out tomorrow. Okay. Is there a need for executive session? >> Yes, there is. Uh 20 minutes uh current or potential litigation with legal counsel. >> Okay. We will do I hear a motion to adjourn to execute. Mr. >> President, in accordance with RCW4230.110, I move that the board of directors moves into a 20-minut executive session for the purpose of current or potential litigation with council for approximately 20 minutes. >> Do I hear a second? >> It's been moved and seconded to for executive session for 20 minutes. All in favor? >> I. All opposed. Okay. Thank
087you all for being here. Have a very happy holiday. Hug your family members and your friends and we'll see you in January.
