Dr. Seno like to turn this one over to you addressing the will be a building good news in our student spotlight. We got a special one this month, don't we? >> Yes, we do. >> Haley, you want to come on down? >> All right. Haley Tomovich is our uh is a fifth grade student in Mr. Bossy's class
003and she is our student spotlight this month. And so um her teachers were just so excited to talk about all of Haley's strengths. Um, she is a compassionate and responsible leader, a genuine friend to everyone, and consistently treats both her peers and younger students with a lot of respect. She's a diligent worker and an enthusiastic participant. In our class, Miss uh Allison said that her creativity really shines along with a desire to go above and beyond. She's always looking for ways to be helpful, frequently asking what more she can do to help her teacher and her classmates. And then um Miss Byer also wanted to chime in. She had Miss Buyer in fourth grade last year. Um she said Haley is a role model in our school that she's always respectful, responsible, and ready for
004learning. Um she's always willing to help out. Her enthusiasm and joy is contagious and she's always willing to take on extra responsibilities and challenges. For example, she was the lead in the peace program last year with Miss Class and she's a good friend to others and this fire even heard that she's a pretty good big sister to her brother. So we are really proud to recognize for the positive impact she makes every day at the intermediate center. Who are those lovely people in the back of the office? >> Um that's my dad Tyler. That's my brother Mason. And then that's my mom. >> Welcome to you all. Thank you. I guess you work with your daughter. What an absolute delight. And we can see the whole family future. >> Yeah. >> Would you all be
005open to coming outside to take a picture with us here uh so that we can put you on the district's website? >> Yeah. I'm going to ask my friend uh Miss Aubrey. We'll meet you on this side here. How's that sound? Awesome. Congratulations. and our Mrs. Fisher is our toration. Heat up here. Heat up here. Yeah. Heat. Heat up here. Heat up here. All right. Sure. what we've been up to. Um, last week we tackled the forward exam. And so that's a milestone that um that's a pretty big one for students and staff alike. Right now we're working on makeups, but um we're confident that we'll get it all done by the end of the week. Third graders had an especially busy week because they had the third grade music program on Friday. Um they
006that was a really great show. We snuck it in before the weather went south on us on Friday afternoon and the students worked really hard to polish up their skills and came out and put together a really great program. The recorders I've never heard them sound so good impressive. Um today and tomorrow fifth grade is taking field trips to the UW exploring the geology museum and taking by the zoo. Um Miss Buyer, so this year she is in a different role um serving as our guidance teacher and so her annual peace program, she's taking it schoolwide and this year is going to be called we are we. It's a whole school program celebrating the IC school theme. I am we and it will include vignettes, poetry, songs about peaceful leaders from history and how we
007can create a peaceful community today and we think we can even make a connection to um the 250th anniversary of our country. So we'll be able to cover a lot there. Various students from grades 3 through 5 are going to be involved in the production. 71 students and that's scheduled for uh Friday, May 15th at 8:30 at 2:00 in our cafeteria. Um Earth Day is this week, so we like to get outside and do some work on our grounds. We'll be picking up litter, pulling weeds, and spraying mulch this week. Thursday is crazy hat day. um strikeout cancer is leading that and um will be a fundraiser as well. Um last week um was when we originally planned to practice severe weather but we had there was some interesting weather so we postponed it for
008this week Thursday. Um, and then next week students will tie dye t-shirts in our class to prepare for field day on June 9th. And staff, we are starting our spring challenge, collecting baseline data on instructional practices. So things are hopping. It's it's going to be a busy spring, but all is well. Yeah. I just love the innovation and the can do spirit of your faculty and staff. The things that they do in order to make special things happen for kids. It just warms the heart. So, thank you for your leadership and please by extension extend our gratitude on behalf of the board. >> We'll do. All right. Thank you. Thank you very much. >> Dr. land in recognition of our high school athletes. This is a bunch you and I have been talking about for
009a while. Mr. Birds, President Birds and I were talking about eight fields because of a really great run over the course of the past couple years, particularly our winners and uh we should invite them in. And so um I think uh weigh in for wrestling is uh no longer on the docket for tomorrow. So that's why are kind of cleared out. But um we we do have plenty of snacks like to celebrate our gymnastics team, which by the way, can I just brag on our gymnastics team for a minute? Not only are they have just tremendous academic prowess, excuse me, athletic prowess, but their academics are equally strong. I'm going to look to coach here for a second. Uh Badger, uh what was the award that they won for their academics? >> Academic all state.
010>> By academic all state. >> Yes. >> That's unreal. So on top of everything they're doing with uh practice and then of course work, church, other things in their lives, they're also academically gifted. So thank you for the precedents you and Joy and your husband and others uh really uh do to support our young athletes. And then uh our basketball team, can't forget about our basketball team. Is this now like the third year in a row, coach, that we've uh had postseason play or maybe even longer? >> Right. Third season in a row of winning a regional champ regional. That's what I remember back in that conference. And then we also have 11 of our 18 all state academic. >> Hey, outstanding. I won't ask you to raise your hands if you want, but if
011you weren't one of them, I won't have you raise your hand. And then uh you also have an amazing coaching team. I see you brought them with you tonight. Might you also recognize them as well tonight? >> Yeah. Yeah. Coach Prey here uh started coaching in I believe 1982 if I remember right. Right. Uh and for us and we got a good years out of him. Um Paul Manchester also in his last uh year with us as well and uh Mark Frederickson was the third coach that was uh done as well. So Brad was on staff for us as well this year JD guys. And coach, how many years has it been for you here? >> 3323. And then I can't forget you guys. I think you guys represented the entire high school for the
012first time at state level in some really impressive results. Can someone remind me of what those results were? We had a couple of state winners and runners up and team sectionals sections. I don't know if that's happened here, but uh we missed that two state by a couple matches. Um we had nine state qualifiers. um we placed seven out of the nine uh including um one was Bronte's one here that was a state qualifier and then um first time in school history I understand we won the Badger Conference uh tournament. Well, then we moved on to state and we had four state finalists and two state champions and we won the individual scoring outright. So, we were on number one. So, >> and I saw in the newspaper a couple of our students signed on
013with some colleges. I have two members of the team that are both ranked in the top 10 in the nation and moving on to um college letters. Currently, he's ranked as high as fifth in the nation and Hunter years been ranked as high as fourth and he's still playing the field a little bit, but zeroed in on his destination. So, um, they both competed in a lot of national tournaments. The place is very high. So, good things come. That's for sure. You're building a program that's remarkable. Can you uh introduce your coaching? >> Well, we have a first year volunteer down here, Joe Man, and his boy Russell this year as a freshman. And then we have Miles Steinoff. He's been here a while. And then, uh, Jamie Drestler, who's also been a volunteer assistant
014for quite a few years. and going into my fourth year. So, I love seeing the trajectory of your program growing as little ones coming up. We hear them sometimes, but you guys continue to make us proud. Can we give all of our student athletes? You know, usually we take a picture of each individual team together, but this truly embodies a group effort of the hot high school. And I'm wondering, can we maybe find a spot out in the cafeteria for all of us to kind of come together as a group of board of education members? Would you mind coming and joining us out in that picture? That would be really fun. Heat. Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. What the heat? Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Yeah.

And you think about everything these fantastic people do to support quality learning experiences for our young people and the staff who love them. It's just remarkable. I felt badly about Friday night. I heard about the fancy pants dinner, excuse me, and we weren't able to pull that off, but it sounds like we might get that off the ground again in the future. >> We're working on it. Yeah, that's just the latest example of the things you all do each and every week to support our young people. And uh coming from a long list of other welldeserved recipients, it's high
016time uh that the board of education uh recognize these fantastic folks as a small token of our appreciation. Look at I don't want to put my fingers on my get it all dirty and all foot. Do you think we could take a picture with the board of education to bestow this uh small token of the board's appreciation, our community's appreciation for all that you do like that?

My name, please. uh letter E uh having to do with um the uh cooperative uh that the district is a part of. This is something that I I I know might ring a bell to some of you who've been board members for some time. Uh at least as long as I've been here 10 years now. Uh the district participates in purchasing cooperative thanks to the leadership of our school nutrition director Michelle D. It leverages our collective buying power uh to get commodities at a much cheaper rate. And uh we know going to the grocery store these days, every little bit helps. So I want to thank uh Michelle for her outstanding efforts and
029ask if you please consider approval of this tonight. >> Motion to approve consent agenda. Second. >> Got a motion by Leah and a second by Jessica. All in favor? I I any opposed motion passes to our discussion items. Start off with our committee and village leazison member reports on education. Jessica, >> we met on Monday, April 6th, and we talked about we had our annual conversation about possible courses to add and remove. Um and we made a motion to bring to the full board the approval of an IB English language and literature course. Um this would be the second upper level full course. Um it would support the IB students and any student who is uh interested in taking it. And then also uh Sarah also recommended a class for um our English language learners.
030Uh it's a skill development class for students who just need a little extra foundation and growth um to help them be successful. So those will be coming to our next meeting. And then we have one removal sorry removal of a social problems course uh for the 26 27th year. Um there's some shifts in the social studies department and as a result we're going to keep it in this class which as Joel noted some of the skills and the strategies that students learn are covered in other classes now. And then we had a curriculum update. Sarah shared with us um for act 25, the Wisconsin guarantee program, there has to be a tiebreaking language. And she just shared that um they further specified um the process in the admin rag. And um she also shared that
031the fourth grade teachers teach teachers are going to start doing a junior achievement section and they're looking for volunteers from the business computer community to help lead that. Um Sarah worked with Aaron Stone to provide some more details on our title one program and the new guide is on the district website. She also shared about the grading and assessment updates. Um as we all know they hired um a professional learning expert to come in and to provide some um professional learning opportunities for the next school year. So that planning is underway and the first focus is going to be on the courses essential learning outcomes. And then the last thing we talked about was the belonging update which overlaps with the our soft committee. Um the district belonging committee met right before spring break to
032start to draft goals which we saw. Um and those goals will probably come to both education and soft in next month and in Denver action-packed for 45 minutes. >> It was It was a short meeting, but we went through a lot. >> Yeah. Uh did community coalition. >> Okay. >> No, I'm guessing that maybe for I believe once we have a new village administrator then try to get that up and running again. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, since we had change of the chamber and now we have it's just been >> Yeah. Um absolutely a good good segue into my village report which is that they are doing their rework tonight swearing in uh Ben Jones who is incumbent got reelected Michelle Kelly who got elected to the other available scene and so there's not
033a lot going on yet at kind of in limbo right now so we'll have more to report in uh in May at some point. Any questions on any in those reports? All right. It's just um we got two really nice presentations tonight. First up is our long range facility planning. Yes. And we got our colleagues and friends on the call here. I'm just going to quickly start board members. You'll see a couple of familiar faces to you on this call tonight. Um I of course you know Ryan Sans uh who works with us is the vice president of great architects. Good evening to you all the way from Milwaukee. Uh, one time I think in a prior life, Molly uh was a teacher because she did such a super job at the groundbreaking ceremony uh
034the other other day and she is back again uh tonight as is her colleague uh Mitch. Mitch, welcome. It's good to see you too tonight. Uh Molly and Mitch put together a little bit of a recap for the board's uh packet. Uh but at this point, we'd love to turn it over to you and share a little bit about the good news that's been happening related to your outstanding efforts. Who wants to go first? Okay, just a moment. I want you to turn me on. Please hold just a second here. Can you speak again? >> Yeah. Are you able to hear me? >> There we go. Perfect. Thank you. >> Awesome. Um, is it all right if I share my screen quick? >> Me, too. >> I don't know if you have something already shared
035up there. >> All right. Yeah, I just wanted to give everyone kind of an update on where everything's at with construction. Like Steve just mentioned, we had our groundbreaking in earlier in the month in April. So, that was a ton of fun. It was so fun to see all the kids singing and taking part in it. On CD Smith's end, we have our contract. We've been sending out subcontracts and starting to get everyone working on submittals and we'll get those through the approval process. We have our trailer on site if folks have been past the primary center. Um, fencing got set up last Friday. and just different surveying for all the utilities has been happening on site as we prepare for our work contractor to mobilize in the near future here. They recently built that
036temporary path so that students can get down to the early learning center safely and kind of next steps are for the electrician to mobilize and start demoing some of the site lighting and for the earthwork contractor to mobilize and start grubbing the site, clearing trees, clearing asphalt, and getting it ready for our footings and foundations to go in um in mid to early May here. So, there's a lot of exciting things happening, a lot of momentum here, and we're we're excited to keep it going and keep the team updated as changes happen. And if I understand right, uh we're going to with the board's permission keep with a regular cadence of visiting with uh CD Smith and to that extent whenever Bray's available as well, uh maybe the second meeting of each month. Uh, as
037there's always great things to update on. Um, Mitch, is there anything you'd like to add tonight? >> No, I think Molly covered most of it here. >> That's great. >> And Brian, uh, word has it that we've secured a playground company today. Did I hear? >> Uh, yes. That was uh the communication that came from a group a little bit coordination around uh the layouts. So I think their designers going to be working on laying all the equipment this week and if we need to make any modifications to the footprint to accommodate um we'll make those adjustments as necessary. We have great uh additional stuff in progress uh for getting the playground secure the equipment for uh the whole new playground. A tip of the hat to Dave Reed. Dave uh put our existing playground
038equipment out on um one of these sites where others couldn't bid on it. Dave, did I hear they're coming to pick up the the playground equipment here in a couple >> May 2nd and 3rd is the schedule to get it out of your days. >> Make a few dollars along the way to help defay the cost. I'm pleased to say that Gerber Leisure uh a local uh friend to our community who's done some great work by the way just even locally if you've been down to the the park recently it's just lovely. Uh we we're going to have uh some really nice uh playground equipment. How about other things? Uh Ryan, anything else that would be helpful for the teams at a vacation? Um, I hope for my role models. Um, as Molly did, we'll
039be working in concert with the CD Smith team on reviewing some metals and chop drawings as those come through. There are some contractors on board and uh, attending the OC meetings and doing our cycles and things once things get going. So, yeah, looking forward to uh starting the next month or so. and we have our next owner, architect, and contractor meeting. Those are called OAC meetings. That's going to happen this Friday morning at 10:00 in the morning. It's a virtual meeting board members. So, if you'd like to join us, let us know. Um once once we get uh that uh kind of cadence down in terms of those meetings, we'll probably end up meeting uh Bench and Molly up at your probably at the trailer at some point, but uh I don't think we're quite
040ready for that yet. So, uh, please know board members, you're always welcome to be a part of that. I'll try to keep you apprised of updates. I'm looking to David and to Scott. Anything else that would be good for the edification of the board? Well, we end where we began and that is in gratitude to each of you. What a when you talk about a team, uh, Scott and I said this uh to each other after our first meeting. I'll I'll let you in on a little inside baseball. Uh we uh got done with our very first meeting with our our our contractors. We both looked at each other and we said, "God, these these guys have got together." Uh and we were so appreciative of the seriousness with which they take uh things like
041uh conducting background checks, uh criminal background checks, cuz we only want the very best in front of our our young people. And they took that as seriously as we did. And uh they're just so quick uh to get a response back to us. We're not waiting on them. and we hope that you're not waiting on us. And if that's the case, you let me know and we'll do what we can to uh put some extra heat on the ball for you. Uh but know that we're grateful for you all and and looking forward to uh the friendships no doubt that will be forged here over this project in the next couple of months. >> Thanks. uh if I could I think I thought that Joel is uh ending his tenure on the board and I
042just wanted to say it's been a pleasure working with you Joel and look forward to uh seeing you I'm sure at community engagements and tours and things of the project in the future and look forward to working with Jessica again and member as well. So that's nice. Thanks Ryan. >> All right, you guys have yourself a terrific evening. Thank you so much for everything. >> Thank you. >> It's great. We got a lot of excitement at the graph. Was fantastic. Here to see some more momentum take place there. Uh next up is our information and advocacy report regionally competitive compensation insurance and retirement package or >> yes well I have somewhat of a report for you all today. Um so I'll go through it and then of course there'll be time for questions. much. Um,
043I brought this report for a few years and it's, uh, we've had some wonderful uh, compensation groups that we work with um, to put this together. Um, this is a regional compensation trends that will help uh, inform some decision making as as it relates to employee compensation. Since 2017, um the board identified some comparable districts and then in 2024 adopted the policy 190 um that further defined some comparabilities um such as proximity um student enrollment, comparable tax base. Um so historically we've um used some of those comparables established in 2017. This report is just broadened a little bit. many of those districts you will still see um that were part of this report. But it also included a total of 29 districts um that um fell into these categories such as enrollment um revenue and
044geographic location. So um I also included just for reference um you can see in the key the badger small conference just as many of those um districts were familiar with um and were included um with any uh compensation um uh report there are some limitations. Um, this does not take into account for growth trends, revenue limits, referendums, contracting services, um, and really just priorities of the of local communities. Um, as I put together some of this information, this came from the statewide compensation consortium um that we've been a part of. About 50 districts are part of that, the Wisconsin data hub, which is um, administered by CISA 5. and then also some direct submissions. Um as I reached out some some specific districts. Um this is largely focused on wages. Um there are other benefits
045such as health, dental, vision, retirement, uh paid leave, stipens. Um those pieces are um discussed but largely not compared. Um co-curriculars and events are also not included in this report. um benefits significantly um are driven by the value of their local communities. Um just one brief example and and some of you are a part of the personnel committee um leave days for instance are not you know um seen in a report like this but um the amount of leaves the flexibility how it's constructed all of those things um fit the values um are largely designed for the values of the um employees and that is very hard to compare, but also some of those things are are incredibly valuable on the not seen in a in a wage uh calculation. Um, also this year, just
046to note, we did have uh spend some time on our um health insurance and we had our um uh health insurance committee um spend some time in in this um fashion to not only hear what's most important to our employees, but also analyze some costs. We did see some significant costs this year with our health insurance. Um we had some amazing uh renewal rates for the past five years plus and now though we did see some adjustments it is pretty pretty in line with many of our peer districts. Another um benefit to note is um our postemployment benefit. Um uh currently um uh eligible retirees have the opportunity to continue to participate in our health insurance which is um largely unique to Mount Corora. uh there are different postmployment benefits but al often in a
047TSA or HR and not directly linked to insurance costs in the future. So that's pretty unique to Mount Kora. Um, so as we dig into some of the wages, you will notice that um there's a couple things that are I wanted to just note that are excluded. So, we have um both um our hourly staff, those that are under full-time 20 to 30 hours um or under or under 20 hours have an additional statement that they receive, but that is not calculated into their wages. That also is pretty unique to Monora. Um I also noted some longevity that um our support staff and our faculty those two employment groups do have access um to longevity increases on top of their annual wage increases. Okay, that kind of sets the stage. Um as we look at
048each different employee group, you will see for instance starting with their administrative assistance, you will see our minimum and our maximum in the area um compared to the averages and then also you can see the ranges um for our uh administrative assistance. we are um right around the averages all um easily within the ranges. You will see that there's a really large range um from in the maximum category. And as we compare ourselves to other districts, very small districts, very large districts, they have sometimes very different um roles in administrative assistant. Um so that's just important to note. Um and also these ranges are what is reported doesn't necessarily mean the starting range but this is where um the lowest paid employee um they have in this category and the highest paid employee in this
049category. um the our bus drivers, if you want to scroll down, this one's difficult to compare because many many districts contract their drivers out. So, um of our comparables, we had about seven that have their own fleet. Um this is an interesting way um to compare because some of the contracted um services are able to employ their drivers full-time. And so they are able to not only give them bus routes but then fulfill them as a full-time employee for not only field trips but evening and private events. So that's also unique in the comparison. Um, we do offer some statements that I talked about previously for our bus drivers as well as a bonus program up to $1,000. Um, our our bus drivers can receive as well. My um idea is uh to um important
050to note um that we we are on some of the lower end and our starting range but higher end um at our maximum range for our drivers. As we look at our custodial staff um you again will see that our averages are are well in line. our maximum um average is a little low. I think one thing that is to note um we did have some long tenure staff retire. Um and also this does not include our head custodians. So often some of our custodians move to head custodians and so folks who've been with us a long time aren't aren't necessarily seen in this category. Um, another distinction that I think is important to note, some of our smaller districts, we we do not include maintenance staff as custodial staff. Some districts do not make
051that distinction whatsoever. So, it's just custodial staff and maintenance staff. They also take on those responsibilities. So, that also adjusted ranges as well. um our food service. Um this is also about a third of the districts do uh contract out as well for food service. So um there is a little less um uh pool to compare. Um our minimum wage falls at a higher end of the range um and our maximum is at the lower end. Um I would say similar to the custodians, our head cooks are not in this um comparison. Many of our cook helper positions do go to that um head co position as well. Um also larger districts, one thing I noted is um larger districts do have district level cooks and cooks helpers versus building level. Um, so that is
052a distinction some of the larger districts. >> Hey, I'm sorry. I just I feel like I need this refresher every year. >> Yes, please, please, please. >> Because what we're seeing here is the um like actual wages paid versus a range, right? This is this is a calculation of what people are actually making in our industry that averages that. >> Okay. Yep. >> Yep. and as well as the range that you see um are from the lowest paid to all of the districts that we compare in and then the maximums also for all of those 29 districts we speak of. >> Yep. Yep. Great. Thanks. >> Mhm. Um as we look at pair professionals, I'm going to talk about both. I don't know if you can fit them on the same screen and you don't
053need to. you can toggle back. But this is an interesting category because some districts do not distinguish the difference between special education and general education or just have special education paras. Um there's also in larger districts have a lot more um distinction in par roles. for example, behavioral um uh support staff, bilingual support staff, therapy support staff. Um and sometimes they fall in general education, sometimes they're classified under special education. It just depends on how the district classifies those. So, um a lot of those specialty pair of professionals are back and forth. Um though I would say most commonly um general education pair professionals um are roles such as classroom support, library, health room, office, recess, lunch supervision. Um you can see that uh in both our general education and special education um mount's uh
054average is above both of um both the minimum and maximum averages. Um so so that was important to note in both both of those categories. And finally we have our faculty. Um again you will see this is um by salary range. Um when looking at this this is defined by 1.0 and the contracted days vary between district. So I would say the average a very common average is 190. Um but this 1.0 FTE with the salary range could be 195 days. It could be 80 187 days. So it's as defined by that district. You will see large ranges here as well um for starting teachers as low as $41,000 um to a maximum salary of $118,000. Um uh Mount Corb's minimum and maximum averages uh are our our minimum and maximum are close to the
055averages that you will see here. Um, uh, pupil service staff. Some pupil service staff in in different districts are also considered administrative positions. Um, and those would not be listed in here. We do not define those as administrative positions though. >> So, they're in this >> they are not >> they're not in faculty. Faculty is just faculty for us >> for us. And some some districts for instance um like school psychologists might be considered and administrative position depending on how they uh define that contract. >> This is their straight salary. It's not inclusive of team leader roles, coaching and resources. >> Yep. So, this is just um teaching salary. No co-curriculars or leadership positions um are uh in in these salaries. Um, I think in in general when you're summing summing this up, uh, Mora
056continues to be a destination district, especially for its geographic location, our our educational philosophy, commitment to belonging. Um, and just our respective and dedicated staff. Um, our compensation, um, does make us competitive um, in this geographic location. I think we're well positioned to continue to attract and retain um wonderful talent as we have here. Um and I think the board's commitment to um leadership uh to our dedicated staff and engagement of students will continue to support um Morura being this destination district. Um, like I said, meeting report. So, I'm I'm happy to go back and answer any questions that you want to dive into. Is there any role or position that you think needs to be addressed? I think that the we've heard this for through the years over and over. Bus drivers are not
057easy to come by. um hours are um I don't say odd hours but like are the beginning at the end of the day. Um sometimes we do have drivers that just start in the morning and the afternoon. Um but we are not just competing against other districts. We're competing against private industry which can do which have a lot more flexibility. Um so that is challenging though we have been able to staff our drivers very well. Um but I think that is that will be an important one to watch. Um such a very important position and for our students to get here safely and really value that position. So that one's one to watch. Um I think the administrative assistant is another one to keep an eye on. there's been a lot of changes um uh
058in that industry and again the roles are so vastly different. Um I think that one's one to keep an eye on too. I just I noticed just um although for both our both kinds of pairs for the general classroom and special education um although we are in the mix in terms of the averages some of those positions are below some of our other positions just in terms of our own internal you know salaries and knowing that those professionals were directing students. It doesn't seem like those might be answered what you want to be. >> I have a couple of questions. Uh mostly I have just pure speculation, but um let's see. I have I just have a couple. So um when when you were giving your report on uh the health insurance, I couldn't really
059gauge if it went up or down or if it stayed the same. And I was just um I was just wondering like, you know, where where did it end up for this year and uh comparative to other years? and um you know if I can find that anywhere or or if it's policy at all that I can look at. So >> yes, that was a real recent decision in April. Um we decided to uh move forward with our courts plan which is the provider that we've had. Um we did have a significant increase um for and a plan design. Um we I think I shared in the report we've had really tremendous renewals. Every year we have to renew um our commitment with a provider and we've had really favorable renewals from very very minimal
060to none to even negative renewals which is kind of unheard of. Um but this year it was not the case. Um the market in general not only for us um but other districts significantly increased. Um you might have just heard about healthcare increases within the news. um we were not able to escape that this year. Um so we did see some increases and we're actually talking about that tomorrow night with our um employee groups on the plan design details. >> Great question. >> Yeah. So with the uh so with the increase of that, you're talking about like the price of it or >> the the price the premium price of what people are paying for has increased. Uh and then going to figure 10 which is that's just what I mostly am looking at here
061is figure 10 uh for faculty. Um how does one obtain the high end of figure 10 and are teachers included in that? >> Yeah. So teachers are included. So this would be um faculty would almost be all teachers or um uh pupil service staff in our district would be included in this. Um as as folks are um here for more years, our faculty model supports um longevity as well as education. So if people obtain um further education, they can move across and have higher um annual salaries as well as longer they stay with the district longevity. >> Sure. I don't know if we went over, but what is the just a rough timeline of that? >> Um often there's yearly longevity increases and then the education portion would probably just depend on um individuals programming.
062I would say often um maybe a couple years um of part-time status, someone can go from a bachelor's degree to a master's degree. Um and the national board is also an option for our staff. Um and that also takes a few years to obtain that's great. >> I think I have a couple. So on the on the food life process on the food service um you said some some employees are not counted in our average if they're so um I try to gain all similar positions as cooks helper. So a cook's helper position is not a lead cook but anybody is assisting the lead cook. Um so when I'm using those comparables I try to find those similar comparables. Um, and I think largely you can um find similar positions. Um, though like I I
063think I mentioned some districts have like districtwide cooks helper positions which we don't necessarily. We have more building specific. So larger districts have some of those um additional positions similar but not exactly. >> I'm sure it's difficult to put this together. So thank you for your effort on that. And then um one other question on on the uh you said that our district is a little different as far as the insurance as employees retire they can stay on. Do we have a general number on how many are are partaking in that >> who stay on or just or take the cash and move? >> Well, yeah, I guess our insurance. >> So at um Great question. That's a great question. So when a when a staff member retires, they'll have the option to if they're
064enrolled in our insurance policy, they can either um continue on our insurance for three year. Well, anybody starting now would have 3 years. Um and then anybody they could also opt for cash and move for that equivalent of what it would cost for insurance. So um I couldn't say for certain. Maybe Scott, I >> take one or the other. >> Sure. Um, so the cost is is generally the same if they take the cash in blue or if they take the benefit, but they are able to stay on the same insurance, which is um unique to Scott. >> Yeah. Um, I'm sorry, I'm way over here. Uh, we currently have 19 uh retirees that are on either a single or family health insurance plan. um we probably have um another dozen to 15 that are
065not collecting health insurance as a retirement benefit but are getting um cash and move benefits instead. So adding it up probably just over 30. Yeah, it's it's a relatively small amount. Great. Thank you, Scott. Your point's a really good one though, Mr. Schliman. Um and just connecting the dots uh for those who might be watching, remembering that not always, but most often uh the higher users of health care are those of us who are older. And as we think about our medical loss ratio, um we need to think about uh whether or not that's a contributing factor to the kinds of increases we've seen um in our health insurance. Um, so I can understand why some districts have said, "We'll give you the HA or we'll give you the money." And I'm not uh it's
066a defined contribution and then you go out to market and do it do what you want to do. Um because it's hard to control for those costs uh 15 20 years from now as we see medical trend going up uh almost pigeons these days. Just wanted to connect those dots for us as we think about what are some what's what what's some potential lowhanging fruit uh for the district to consider if we continue to see our MLR skyrocket. Um maybe it's something like u grandfathering people who are already part of the health insurance plan. But we look to encourage them to look at other consideration. Not one I like but it's a it's a fair it's fair given that's what other districts are considering. on the um all the different figures there. Do you have
067access to average tenure given that tenure seems to be or time seems to be the main driver in terms of acceleration of wages? >> Um in some capacities, yes. So in some districts you're able to see um an a salary associated with years of service. um in some you are not um so you can get some idea um it's also how individual districts report so I would say there's inconsistency with the data but you could um yes I would say of course when you see those higher salaries so they're 30 plus years often um on those high ends of the ranges >> especially on the support positions that might be helpful metric to understand our 10 year versus other tenure when we're looking at that range that's going you know $30 an hour difference. Yes,
068that and I would say it's interesting um teacher teacher and faculty tenure is not often is me is is measured in both global years and total years where is when you see support staff I would say uh in the education industry it's really only local years and so you're not able to see for instance if someone is coming in support staff position who has a lot of visual surface to a similar position to that is really consistent data throughout education. Yes, very interesting. >> We do we share that information out with other districts that amount of time. >> Um so there's there I mentioned three different ways um that I collected some of this data. Um the um state cons uh compensation consortium has very very detailed and very very uh specific formats and what
069you need to submit. We do participate in that one. um the CISA 5 which has 100 districts their um submission is a little less detailed um and I would say easier but then there's also 100 plus districts that participate in that one um and then I had based off of what I um looking for local districts who didn't participate either I just personally asked for that information so um though there information to utilize statewide. It is not current year. And so you can go back a few years to look at that. But when you're looking at um compensation 2 or 3 years ago, we know how much that can change in the blink of an eye. So though it's interesting, it's not as um recent. Who facilitates the statewide consortium? um through various partnerships. Um
070uh we work directly with um Skyward um they help with the um formulation of how to submit that data. Um so that's why it's more consistent. Um many districts who who utilize Skyward participate in that but not all. Are you able to get data or do you get data on the the um heavy need positions or the the concerning positions where we get you know districts that are paying sign bonuses and or other things like that and are those calculated to those? >> Um I would say those are not unless they're part of the salary. They wouldn't be submitted in that fashion. So for a high for a high position if there was a boldness of some kind you wouldn't see that in that ne not necessarily correct. Great question. >> I don't have a
071question. I just want to say that I appreciated the expansion of the pool peers for sure. I think that we are we the more you learn about our district compared to others especially in the county and kind of are in a unique position and so to have um that that kind of expansion to find more districts that look like us. I appreciate that. Please on that I think one interesting factor thing to look at would be how many have successful operating. Yeah, we look at our number. >> Yeah, >> that's a very different number without the successful. >> Yeah, I had that thought too. That's probably impacting a lot of those revenue. >> Yeah. And I think too just mentioning um as you mentioned revenue um the total revenue per member as Scott so wonderfully
072explains in detail um for you all. Not all total revenue can be spent on salaries, right? Some of those grants and things are very much targeted for specific use. So just because it has that number doesn't mean that that all applies to compensation >> and how many virtual students does have cuz that number jumped up and I'm like that's got to be double. >> Yeah. Um it's hard to distinguish what is exactly virtual and what's not. Um they are in our conference. So like physical students um are closer to auto age but then their total enrollment is at a six. So that's why I included like the virtual >> you know cuz that >> definitely >> it's a lot bigger number. >> It's a lot bigger. >> Do you um I know this is an
073easy question. And I feel like we come back at this every year also, but when you're looking at the categories there and where we line up with the most similarities, you know, I'm seeing Stoden Sock, Portage, Beansburg, Fort uh which which makes sense in some ways also just in terms of like geographic location around medicine kind of similar type communities um in terms of what people are looking for. But what are you looking at from an from an HR side of things in terms of like actual competition for actual resources? >> Um I think it's very interesting because we we gain we gain and lose employees to both large districts and small districts. Um even in a recent conversation with um potential candidates, one thing they mentioned was really valuable to them personally is because
074they have a family and our leave policy was so much more favorable than other districts that we said if I don't have children, I don't know if I would feel the same way, but in this part of his life, this is really important. So some of those, as I mentioned before, those things aren't measurable necessarily in wages. um but definitely attract employees to our um to Mount Hora. I think um Mount Hora has an amazing reputation for education and that draws people initially. Um and I think taking the time to hear what's important to them um often is not just regional. They've all been all the little details and taking the time to to speak to those and um our hiring managers do a wonderful job. Um and allowing me to take a few extra
075moments to talk with candidates to explain that is is helpful, too. >> That's great. Thank you. I did have one other question. I was just trying to do some back then after math on the $1,000 statement. I know what that means. 20 to 30 hours and it was looking to me like it was like, you know, over a dollar an hour wage at 20 hours a week over the course of a year. >> It is rather significant. Um and but that yeah, it's not seen in wages. It's separate. It's a separate statement. Um >> so um that is more unique to Monora. So you don't necessarily see that in a wage, but it is an extra bonus or extra um substantial um wage for our employees who are part >> which food service drivers um
076do that for sure. >> But it's also taxed and like >> Yes. Because it's a stipen taxed crazily. So your mat has to take out >> it comes back in. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's just not in your pocket that second. >> Right. True. >> Yeah. >> Any other uh thoughts, questions, comments about this report? Thank you. All right, on to our action items. We have our first reading. Revisions to board policy 853 military recruitment referred by education. Sir Estraa first reading. This is this is the first reading of revised. So this came the word of February. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> I was too. >> Yes, this is Y. So, this is the second time, but it's it's very fashioned. So, it's partially true. Partially true. >> Familiar. >> Yes, it's familiar yet. Uh, so you
077all received a version of this policy back in February, I believe. Um there were some questions and wonders and as I was reassioning the policy uh to answer those questions I went back and talked to Dr. Schler. I said I really I really do think this policy would be better served um because there's more technical how pieces in it to be a policy and also an ended rag and typically um we don't work on those hand in hand but in this case when I presented changes the education committee I was decided to share both the head right and the refashion policy just so we can all the same unit lose information in that first reading for that first policy. So within the work um like I said refashion the policy it is shorter but the
078information is in that right. A couple questions that were at the February meeting um had to do with frequency and those kinds of pieces. I went back and talked to our school counseling staff just so we had par between the amount of times we allow recruiters to come in no matter who they are whether it's military or post postsecary as well. So we have that information in here as well. Uh there was questions about so annually there. So I made a lot of the changes and clarifications that was that were brought up at that February meeting. Then I presented the two documents like I said to education committee. Um at that time this is where we are with the policy that we look at tonight. And then again you see that's a technology. So if
079you go back to the policy that you had up it doesn't match the draft. It's not huge things because I was going to call out in the draft version it says will be offered in annual leave. So this one is fixed but then later it says for Mount Corum high school juniors and seniors and this just says for high school. I don't know they have a preference either way. It's just here that this one doesn't match the draft. >> That was the red line. The red line red line. Yes. Sorry. The red line or purple line in this case. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um sometimes after the colorful line, whatever the color is, there's little tweaks here and there that we make to um overall changes you can see are significant in moving things around. Does
080have any specific comments or questions about this treatment that we're seeing? I would make a motion to approve this policy. Second. >> We have a motion from Joel and a second from Jessica. Any further discussion on that? >> All in favor? >> I. >> This is technically Are we doing it first? It's listed as a first. >> That's right. We would need to do a roll on this. Thank you. myself. >> You can see I got the look. >> Kenny gets to go first. Joel, >> yes. >> Leah, >> yes. >> Jessica, >> yes. >> Sarah, >> yes. >> Tom, >> yes. Carly, >> yes. >> I'm also a yes. Motion passes. >> Thank you, Sarah. Next up, our planned technology purchase for the 2627 school year referred by finance. Scott, >> give me 20
081seconds. You got the mezzanine level where they serve the best concessions. >> Is where they serve the best concessions. Awesome. >> Well, um, thanks finance committee. Last Monday we talked briefly about this. You may recall this is the time of year when Will Bergman um, collects quotes for the upcoming um, budget season relative to Chromebook replacement. So, um, this would replace the fifth and 9th grade um, Chromebooks as part of the replacement plan that he has. Um, as you can see, the one that's highlighted is Trera U for 340 units for just over $145,000. This is budgeted every year as you may recall. Um, just looking for short of any discussion. Just looking for a motion. Motion to approve the purchase of the books. got a motion by Tom and a second by Jessica and
082got to just say thank you for tracking down that past information about previous costs on that and for uh talking through some of the other packaging costs that goes into this versus just to buying it off the shelf to protect our investment. Uh motion's on the table. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? >> Motion passes. Thank you. Back to the aformentioned uh consideration of high school course changes, addition of IB English a language of liter literature, addition of English language foundations one and two removal of social problems referred by education committee Sarah St. >> Jessica just such a nice summary sharing for education. Yeah, very good. >> Hope you all pay attention. Uh the course before the first course that um added mentioned was is the IV English A language and literature course. We
083have been reviewing our IE sequencing and through our first year of implementation. Um we were seeing that we needed an English course. Um students and and we're looking for an English course also fulfill their writing requirements but as students are going through the English program the current IB program um we're realizing that they may have to take another English course on top of other pieces. So, we're trying to be smarter with our sequencing for students. This course is a year-long course, so any junior or senior can take it. We currently just have one upper level course within our English department, which is our AP course. Um, and we think about other other I would say three core areas, science, math, and social studies. They all have at least two upper level courses. So this course
084is a nice complement to provide students more options for upper level English as well. So it doesn't have to be necessarily in the IB program for this course. Um but again this course does help fulfill the students English and writing requirement. Um and it offers another ID course that students can take for more flexibility in that program. We do have a teacher identified and we do have training identified for that teacher. Uh this course that would be implemented in the 2728 school year already mentioned this but is it fair to say the key differentiation between this and AP English is the writing component? >> Uh I'm trying to think of our list. I think the AP like class You're doing it right now. >> Last year, but I >> don't remember. >> It was a
085lot. >> I think that course those writing requirements. Okay. I have to look at the list again. >> This course definitely will. >> Oh, sorry. I was ask each of these or if we can approve that as a package. It depends on how the the proposal comes through. You certainly could if you wanted to um do it independently or collectively. >> Why don't we listen to all of them first and then >> wait for a motion? Sure. Sorry about that. Okay. >> We have uh before you is English language foundations one and English language foundations two two courses. Um we are seeing um an increase in a need for for courses that would support students who may be identified as level one and maybe level two English language learners within our school district. So these
086are students who also may be known as newcomers who have low English proficiency and are needing to develop that English proficiency at the high school level um while also then being supported in their other coursework. Currently, we have been um taking this through more of an independent study lens. Um but I would like to formalize it more and have it um within English credit. Um we would have our EL teachers working with our English spoken sequence based on those um learner outcomes that I have listed, the reading, the speaking, so on and so forth. Um so this course would not go into effect formally until the 2728 school year. Um, and we also currently are using a pretty defined resource to help develop students um, language development currently. So, we continue to use that resource
087but layer in some of the English credit pieces for like English one or English two >> questions. And then I think one more thing that is you know this course will be offered as I said as needed. Uh so it would always be within our course handbook. Um but there would be prequisites for example proficiency level and things like that. So two to three students each year that would need access to this course. >> I remember you mentioned committee that this is not a remedial course. This is specifically for correct >> English language learners. >> Correct. Not really know access. >> All right. Address social. >> Yeah. Yeah. So the the last change for you is the removal of a course called social problems. Um with the retirement of the current teacher Molly who who
088teaches this class um we are seeing the we are looking for ways to provide students more options um to include topics um needs that were are in our current social problems class even other classes as well. We knew as we were integrating personal finance and our new American government legislative class that we would be removing some courses as well as time went on, but we we spaced it out. So, for example, last year current affairs was was removed. This year, removing social problems um because we we do have these other courses bring in some of these uh ways that students can work through discourse, conflict, look at societal needs, those sort of things. Uh so Cody has been working with the social the social studies department on this and like to move forward with the
089recommendations are I'll make a motion that we accept the additions of the IP English language or the English IB English a course uh the addition of the English language foundations one and two courses and I will go up the social problems. Second >> motion by Jessica and a second by Liam. All in favor? >> Any opposed? Motion passes. Thank you. Good job, sir. Dr. S, I have not seen anyone rush out to put down for citizens confidence. We are grateful to our citizens who are here throughout the duration of our meeting. And we've got the list of next meetings that that are on our docket here. PGT coming up uh a week from today, 4:30 virtual. Obviously, a lot of great construction news there. And then May 4th, we're going to have education committee 5:15
090early start to facilitate that reorganization meeting at 6:15. Um and full board of education meeting to follow. Those are big ones coming up here.
