We'd love to take a picture. Miss Lipka is our uh leazison to the 4K program and Miss Aubrey Hanks is my friend who helps take pictures and we're going to put you in the newspaper. >> Would that be okay? That would be terrific. What do you say we go outside? Will you all join us for a picture together and we'll be right back. Okay. >> I need my coat on. That's the only go

007Uh, back to business on 3B school news. Jack, would you like to lead us on? You have some words for us. Yeah. Well, second semester started. So excited to be there. No, in all seriousness, um, local solo and ensemble stuff is happening tonight. You guys probably saw it at some point. Um, all in high school and middle school, which is fun. I'm back in band this semester, so that was something I'll do. Um, it's about all I got. Hey, it's not it's not too cold outside finally. >> Yeah. >> So, hope your guys' trip over here was not too bad. Not bad. Freeze halfway through. >> Dr. Looks like you have something for us. >> Mr. President, can I interrupt this uh meeting for a commercial announcement? Let's see. Let's take a gander at this

Our learning skill will actually use a college in my career and in life. This internationally recognized program. It serves as a launch pad to careers in medicine like nursing, medical technician, and physical therapy. And this program adds great value to your high school transcripts and college applications at no cost to you or your family. go online to fill out a free application today. >> I asked our very own Aubrey Hanks to work with uh local television station to develop a communication um about open enrollment opportunities in our district. Uh one way in which we can proactively address uh declining enrollment not just experienced here
009in Mount but all around the state for that matter the the nation. And uh Miss Aubrey again just hits the ball out of the park. Would you mind taking a Reader's Digest version of of all that you've done to get this beautiful commercial off the ground? >> Absolutely. Uh I would put a couple of stars in our midst. Uh they're in some of the photos if you notice. Um but we started out just with uh our team. So Jody and Craig, and we worked on what we wanted to share. Oh, and Steve, obviously. Uh we worked on what we wanted to share. We worked with channel 15 who actually for nonprofits they gave you free production which is incredible. That's so many thousands of dollars only. And then for their Black Friday they had a
010deal where you get uh for $500 a month's worth of of programming which is really cool. So the commercials um which if if you don't know that's like thousands and thousands of dollars normally which is amazing. Um, so we've gotten a cheap rate and they've even plugged us into like Sunday NBC um, for example, like Prime Time, what we would want to see, um, us get in terms of spots. And then, uh, it was just a lot of work coordinating for like just the the sets and the scene changes for what you saw Joe do an amazing job of. Um, they all like memorize their lines, for example. It was just it was just a cool project to work on. None of this would be possible without the devotion and dedication of our faculty and
011staff including our fellow professionals and we're grateful that they would take us to the next level through the international bal program. Speaking of the next level, we are in the midst of uh this month's someone you should know, Jack. I opened up the paper the idea. There's a picture of you here. And then if you wait, you look really nice in a sport coat and tie. Tell us about what you're doing with that. Please pass this along for your scrap focusing on. Tell us a little bit about I think you're going to state competition, aren't you, Da? Yeah. Um my friend and my friend Ray and I, we compete every year together at a team event. So this year we're doing traveling towards a team. Um it's what we competed at St. Loo. Um, and
012last year I also did a community awareness project that made it to internationals. This year I'm doing a um independent business plan um with a few of my friends and we're going to present it and see how it goes. Hopefully we'll get a trip to Atlanta. We haven't even left yet. So, thank you so much for your leadership and demonstrating the very best in our young people. This Wednesday night is a special night. I know our community always likes to help support our schools. Uh, if you're looking for a nice night to grab some coffers, isn't that right, Miss Lipska? Is there a share night? >> It is the PTO share night. >> Yeah. Go see some teachers, maybe some guest celebrities to bring food to your car or your table or Yep. >> If
013I have to bring out cheese curds, I'd have to taste test them for everybody. They're >> I don't know that anyone would complain. Like, I know it's fine. >> 5 to 7:45 that night. particular appreciation to all the teachers and parents who continue to do marvelous things for our our young people. These are value added opportunities for our schools. It's pretty nice for you today, too, is one of those nights. >> Um, we usually have the biggest turnout for any of the share nights. Um, but I will apologize cuz I haven't checked, but it's going to sleep or snow or rain or hail. Some sort of weather event will happen. Um, but they've actually they've shrunk it. It used to be an all day thing, then it was evening and now we get two hours.
014So, um, but we would I mean we like they close the place down like it'll be around the drive-thru and >> that's great. Thank you for helping to organize all that. >> Um, wanted to also uh take note of uh some visits that we'll be doing into our local communities. each of our area school districts. We're an area school district as you know there's nine municipalities that comprise the Morg area school district and we'll be visiting with them tonight. Uh we'll be visiting with the town of Primrose. So we're going to step out for a little bit tonight and you'll be in the more than capable hands of our director of human resources Aaron Hinger. Um we want to talk with the community about the investment that they've made in their schools and the return
015on that investment. uh we call them proof points and I'm grateful to President Bertz for his suggestion. You know, let's not just go visit our townships when uh we have an ask at hand, we have a hat in hand, but rather talk to them about um when we have things to celebrate and most sure that we do here with uh the work that's being done in our district. And that's where I'll leave you last. I thought you might get a kick out of this. Uh one of our pair professionals, if any of you know Tammy Moyer, she's worth her weight in gold. just a delight. Uh Tammy is the one who does the crosswalk on 8th Street in the mornings. She came across the Mount Hora Primary School dedication and open house from September 14th,
0161969 when the uh early learning center as we know it now was was commissioned. So wondering if it's okay if I pass this along if you'd be kind enough just to give that back to me when you're done maybe with with Aaron. Uh, and there is a nice card here if you are so inclined to sign here for Andrew as I know he's absent tonight, but he's in our hearts here together. >> Thank you. >> She's the best crossing. >> No, you can tell when she is not there. >> YOU start pulling up, you're like, she's not here today. I can tell cuz we are not moving at the right pace. >> Did we consult her about that DOT purchase? >> Yeah. Awesome. Um, I'm noticing Euro calling out $700,000 to build the uh ELC
017in 1968. >> Wow. >> That would be nice. >> Uh, do we have any other school news? Yeah, Jessica. >> Uh, February is career and ed month and the education committee was fortunate enough to just have their meeting with Mr. Killinger in the automative lab and the other shop workspaces. So that's really fun and very appreciative of Mr. Kilder's extra time. Um, this week is National School Counseling Week. We so huge appreciation for Miss Tilson, Miss Van Mans writing, Miss Wire and Miss Winnicki and all the staff who provide counseling to our students. Um, and it's also the start of Black History Month. So looking forward to learning more about how our schools are celebrated. >> Outstanding. Thank you. Um, so Taste of Jazz was this weekend. So anyone who went to that, that is
018always an awesome event. Sold out. It's fantastic. Um, this weekend on Sunday before the Super Bowls, the Rotary Pancake and our middle school and high school fiddle bands will be performing if you go to that. Um, and then one more PTO club for Scandah. The PTO is selling um, cookies that are watercolored. You paint them with frosting stuff. It's very cool. Um, they'll be selling those at Christina, but you can pre-order for a discount and that's on the Facebook page. So, those are super cute. >> They're super cute. So, >> great. >> Lots going on this weekend. >> Friday afternoon, I had a chance to go to the IC for the Greek Orchestra concert. Super um super fun. The fourth graders are are learning how to pluck their instruments and did a great job. Fifth
019graders performed separately and the you know the the amount of progress that you can see in a year is something something to um it's really wonderful and uh so a huge thank you to our music department and our teachers who who work with our students on that. It's you could just see the excitement on a lot of students faces jumping around with their instruments. It's very cute. Um they are also they will be performing later in May on the 7th at the high school in the evening. >> Yeah, I'll I'll just echo what Carly just said about the orchestra. So I was able to attend both that and the jazz the following evening. It was fun to see kind of the beginning to kind of a, you know, more finished product um on Saturday night.
020And um uh shout out to Miss Brown who came out of retirement to be willing to teach the the fourth and fifth grade orchestra. And rumor has it that she's already signed up to come back next year. That's true. So thank you all to her. It's great. But there's a lot of districts that are jealous that we have that. It's a specialty that maintain. Appreciate Miss Brown coming back as well. I know that um this last weekend our high school science Olympiad competed um and they got like fifth out of like 30 different teams. So, they did really well. >> Yeah. >> Wonderful. That was great news. Lots of great news this week. Thanks everyone for the contributions. U Dr. Ser citizens comments. I saw you do have some sign that we have a a
021student who graduated last year. Welcome, Mr. Zetler. How are you, sir? Come on up here if you don't mind, please. Welcome. I am Jack and I'm here in support of Dave Chandler in the news that just dropped. I'm just here wondering why you guys have the audacity to blast him in front of the whole district. I can personally say that he is one of the most caring people I've ever known and I don't know where this program this cross country program would be without him. I know that before this we had a cross country coach that we suffered through for many years and I know personally there was many allegations against him with nothing being done. I wonder why now you blast him in front of all of the parents and all of the students
022and all of the teachers. He has four kids in the district. Do you understand that? But I'm I'm lost for words. You These are just You've done very little research into who he is clearly because this is the most irresponsible thing I think you've ever done. This is not okay. You guys do not understand what this will do to him. He's strong and he will come back. And with the support of the cross country team, I know for sure I was cross country captain and track captain these past years. And man, that those were some of the best times of my life. Being able to be with him was just wonderful. I know the cross country program wouldn't be anywhere what it is today if without him. and I just hope you can fix this
023some way cuz he's just a wonderful person. That's all. >> Thanks for sharing your perspective with us tonight. >> Yeah. >> Thanks, Jack. Just so you know, we it's an input session. We're we don't understand. Thank you for having Absolutely. All right. To our uh personnel transactions members and agenda to transactions, please personal transactions. >> Second. >> Get a motion by Leah and a second by Carly. All in favor? >> I I Any opposed? All right. Motion passes on to our uh consent agenda. You can see there are several items in there as well, reports and whatnot. Um entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> Motion to approve. Second. >> Motion by Jessica, second by Leah. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Motion passes. Thank you very much for that. onto our
024discussion items. We have uh committee member reports. I can lead off with uh finance. Joel sent me a little write up for himself as soon as I find that. All right. The the meeting was on January 12th. Covered three larger items. Uh first we have Brian Brewer from Bay to discuss the the last trunch of borrowing related to the new building. It was suggested and discussed that similar pass borrowing transactions a resolution is written about allow uh Dr. Serno and Scott Young with approval from myself as president as clerk to lock in the borrowing when it's most advantageous. In addition, under this resolution, we discussed giving them the authority to restructure past borrowing where it makes sense to reduce interest cost. Estimates related to a refinance loan with the latest projected borrowing appear very favorable
025over the length of the borrow. I would emphasize that we have estimates only because these actions have not yet been solidified, but the projected interest savings for debt services purposes is expected to be around $300,000. In addition, this restructure and borrow would allow the district to level their total debt repayment levy at around $4.6 million. Prior to the new building, our debt repayment levy would bail around 3.2 million for future years. So through this careful financial or careful fiscal management, the district not only saves on the interest cost, but be able to properly manage debt to keep tax levies at a reasonable level. Um, second big one, received an additional donation from the Ker family, which we're very grateful for. This donation was approved at our last board meeting for $105,000 with a focus on
026teacher excellence. Um wanted to call out Joel's comments about this just from his perspective as treasure. Wanted to recognize the partnership of the Ker family. Um is since his time on the board, their generous partnership has allowed our district to improve our ability to serve students from helping with the new football scoreboard supporting our safety task force to this newest gift. Uh we really appreciate their thoughtfulness and support of the students of Mount Corbin. We've had a lot of people, as we know, who are very generous for this district, but um just wanted to call out their recurring commitment to finding different ways to uh to support us. Really grateful. Uh last item, we reviewed a proposal from the Wisconsin DOT to purchase 111 square ft of land at the intersection of Garfield 8. Um
027this will be related to the construction project that's going to go on out there and this just formalizes their possession of that property. Uh we got a whopping expected to get a whopping uh $3,400 for that. Um but that's uh in contrast to using eminent committee to obtain that property. So we'll take it. And the next finance meeting is February 9th at 4:30 virtually. I promised a quick plan for Joel to stay in tradition. I don't have any. um safety and wellness just >> we met on January 19th. Um we started the meeting up with the policy update 453.3 diseases which we will discuss later this evening. Um we also talked about open enrollment numbers which we passed at our last meeting. Um and then we spent the bulk of our time um talking about
028the rest program uh report that was shared with us. Um if you haven't had a chance to look at it, highly recommend it. It's linked to the SAW meeting minutes or the SAW agenda. Um it was a test that was given to middle school students. I don't know if you all remember, but they it was by Journey Mental Health. they provided the test and then like had immediate followup for any students that raised concerns and they had these small working groups with the students. So, it was a really um time and labor intensive for the journey staff or our school staff and students. Uh so, it's good to read. There's a few things that we talked about that we were hoping to follow up with some information on. Um so, I think we'll probably talk
029about them again. Um and then in addition to that, we had our equity update. Uh the district's equity team um has restarted and they identified three big goals linking their work to instructional practices, coaching for staff and specific steps for classroom implementation. Um so that seems that's up and running and going well. And then Brian also gave us a safety update in terms of their participation in the D County some of the working trends that they're working on. >> Excellent. That's I love the uh the instant feedback off that >> uh so many studies that take a couple of years to get back >> and actually do something actionable with yourself. >> Yeah. Awesome. Um, did we have a parks and rack? Was there anything that happened there? >> They did meet. I didn't go
030because we also had a personnel uh committee meeting, but I know that they um on the agenda they were going to talk about similar to our uh sponsorship program, the program guide that put together. Um the village is trying to do something similar for their park system. They're going to talk about that. They were also talking about park planning. Um and then they have two park related initiatives becoming a bike friendly community and for Jose. >> All right. Thank you. Um any questions for Jessica or any other finance try to answer? >> Great. Thank you very much for that. Um, our next item up was the uh board debrief of the WASBY conference that we just attended. Um, so nice to have a lot of us down there taking in some of those sections at
031that annual conference. We don't really have a structure for this one. It's more just an open discussion of maybe some of the the points that we heard or if there is anything that someone wants to raise at this point that um we want to consider further. Uh that's it's really an open open table conversation. Erin, thanks for joining us down here. you attended, too. So, if there's uh anything that you want to weigh in on, you don't have to go first. Um, >> but we'd love to hear what your perspective was on that, too. if anyone wants to start us off. >> Um, um, one of the things that I, um, sat in on, which really, you know, I thought a little bit to the rest survey, which we just talked about, I went to
032a session, a belonging session, and it was with the Senate for all folks who are now rooted wings. Yes. And anyways, they're now different um organizations. But anyways, two different districts, Platville and WA Key that have worked with them and they're having fantastic results and it was it was really nice um to hear more about the programs and to know that we were working with the people. But they talked about a walkthrough process that they do in terms of just like gathering information about student sense of belonging and like what's on the walls and that kind of thing. And they also talked about empathy interviews which I believe Sarah has done with staff if I remember correctly. But it did make me think back to the rest survey. We had talked about some different populations
033who had felt certain ways and like oh this is a survey where it was not monopolist. Can we follow up with these students? Can we do anything? So anyways these empathy interviews might be a nice way to gather some other information from our students. So something to talk about it. Um, I went to Were you in the Pocky one about the use of AI for teacher evaluation? I went into that one and um, it was pretty darn impressive partly because they build their own AI models, you know? So like you're only pulling from the Danielson framework. You're only pulling from they also do UDL and they they pull from their coaching model. So like they're putting in their coaching notes and then just saying like okay two areas of growth, two areas of success. Anyways,
034the way that they did it was really thoughtful. But beyond that, um, using AI for teacher evaluations, they have clearly done a lot of thinking about AI use just as a district. And they developed four different icons. Were you in those? >> Yeah, I was in that one. >> They developed four different icons that they put on every single document. One says like humanmade. One says humanmade and reviewed by AI. One says made by AI and reviewed by a human. And one says, "No, I forgot who I said, but only by AI," you know, but like everything everything had that on it. So like if you were looking at something, you knew what you were getting into. And they've obviously done an extensive amount of um training and thought and so it was it was
035more and then since we had I'm going to continue talking about some things that I thought of in relation to you. Um, I don't know how many educators we have who get their masters every year or like some sort of certificate, but one I don't even remember which session this was in, but districts were talking about like those folks come to like a schoolboard meeting like like a way to honor the extra work and their achievement. And I was like, "Oh, that would could be a nice even if they don't want to come here, but we put it in a newsletter or a weekly update or whatever." I thought that was something to note. Um, and I think the only other thing that I will mention on my long list is something that maybe I
036talked about, uh, some kind of annual mailer to the community. some sort of like nice not as extensive as our, you know, annual meeting agenda, but just some sort of maybe a little bit more than our proof points. Some sort of that goes to the whole community, talks about our successes, what we're working on. I thought that was a nice and I got that like dovetail in two years a little bit. Um, one that I went to was um, focusless telling community stories strategically. It was put up by for Bill and and I picked out something very similar where they do they kind of talked about their whole process of like overhauling their messaging, overhauling their website and getting all the materials and alignment um, and the thought process behind that. One of the things
037that they did is they do they do a communitywide rent newsletter three times a year. Um, and it's, you know, re with the specific recognition that 70% of the community doesn't have kids in the district. And so, how do you get your message out to those to those people where and they highlight student success stories, talk about school finance? Um and each each of those newsletters has a specific theme like this year the themes of one is safety learning and academics and then school finance which is then time around property tax bill time. So it goes into more detail explaining mil rate and state challenges. Um, and related to that, I went to one on telling the school finance story, which had a lot of helpful tips on, I think Leo was in that one,
038too. Had a lot of helpful tips on vocabulary and and you know, one of the takeaways was like >> just try not to worry so much about precision of language and the nuance because it's a super complicated thing. But use simple terms, tell stories. Um, but make sure you're doing it consistently because you can't you can't only tell the finance story when it's referendum time or um so the consistency both in the newsletter and the and that was um stuck out. Um the other one that I dubtailed with yours was I I went to a different belonging session but that where Platville had a chance to really talk extensively about their belonging program. They have a student group, the Diverse Students Alliance. And so they really focused on a lot of their student driven belonging
039initiatives. And some of them just sounded really cool. They they um the two that stuck out were or there were three things that stuck out that were really cool. One that they have high school kids that they pair with middle school kids um for like a it almost the way they described it almost sound like a big brother kind of partnership like a relationship. And the pairs were made by the social worker. So they could pair students with particular um skills from the high school with students with very specific needs in the middle school. And you know these they they get time over the year to build these relationships and the and so was really beneficial for the younger kids to have that relationship with the older kids. Um, the other thing that DSA does
040is they they actually like go into the middle school and do a seventh grade program on words matter to talk about language and the words you use when you talk about people with the idea that middle school kids are going to listen to high school kids well before they're going to listen to >> to adults. Um and then they also do a session where teachers teachers lead talks and sessions and when you sign up for them you just know the topic. You don't know who the teacher is and the teachers it could be topics like I was a teenage parent or I was raised in an alcoholic home and it gives students then the chance to go to those areas and speak to them and then they don't they don't actually know who the teacher
041is until they until they get in the room. So, just some really cool things that that students are involved in and driving there. Um, let's see the other the other like I went to two legislative econom ones. One was just the Wasby legislative update. Um given that it's the end of the session, there wasn't not like a whole lot of legislation right now to talk about. But one of the things that they did say is that because the session's ending after March, the the legislature will be involved in like ongoing study sessions, but then otherwise they're just trying to figure out what policies are going to bring forward next year. And so they made the point that like they don't have the excuse of being in session anymore. Now is a really good time to
042reach out and and talk to them and keep building relationships. Um they were a bit talked a bit about the property tax relief discussions going on with tax collections are 1.5 billion higher than projected. Um and so Ivers has been really pushing for property tax relief and the governor and the legislator's office are just kind of sounds like they're trying to work something out. The legislature wants um governor the governor wants more money for education. and the legislature wants the governor to give up the 400-year veto. Um, so we'll just have to see where that where that goes. Um, and you and we did pass the emergency resolution that asked the legislature to actually fund the whole 42% special reimburse special ed reimbursement. Um, and then related to that, I went to a session hosted
043by Stoton, who does an annual legislative engagement day, a legislative day, and they they don't just focus. What I thought was really cool about that is they they plan out kind of a whole day or not a whole day like a half day and they have student panels, they do building tours, um they, you know, do different small groupoup discussions, but they don't just focus on the state legislature. They bring in um municipal leaders as well. They bring they invite the county executive. They invite Tammy Baldwin and Mark Pokin. And they don't get them, but they always get a staffer. Um, and so it's really grown to a very large um, contingency that they're able to recruit every year. And it it sounded like a really cool a really cool thing that they do. And
044as they, you know, they said that it kind of was a little bit slow getting started, but now that they do it every year and now that the others see who all coming and invited that there's a little bit of fear of missing out. So they they have a really good turnout with it. Um Melissa Ratliff was there as a state senator and she said that she made the point to say, you know, legislators, they have to know their topics a mile wide but an inch deep. And so to have the opportunity to be in the school for the day and just get more depth of what goes on and what school's needs are is really really valuable regardless of what side of the aisle they're on. >> That's great. Thanks. Yeah, those and and
045I the other thought I had some of these I think like um I would I hope to talk further about in some of the committees like the belonging one I thought would be not that I'm going to come into your committee and take it over but but I thought I would send you the presentation or or the notes um as well and yeah so anyway >> that's my you always have some good observations Uh, so I went to one on I went to the same AI one you did, but I went out to another AI one on ethical frontiers and practical implementations and ethical frontiers was you know the rainforest and you know all of those things which right but then they went into some of the practical stuff and they had a W professor
046in and he talked about um how students are coming to his class and actually don't know how to use AI and it's actually been a detriment to them. Um he put basically kind of did the same thing. Built his own they they like build a textbook which is the the kids have to pay for this textbook that doesn't really exist but it's like a real it's a textbook for the class and they dump information in. And he said kids used it to like make me flashcards but not like make me multiple choice questions where you know two answers could be sort of true. And like he went into like this whole thing about how like half the class failed this exam because they didn't want to study using this custommade textbook and using AI to
047like help them study. Like he goes it didn't occur to them to say summarize the information in chapter 2 like things like that or writing prompts but they can't write prompts. >> Um in his class he has assignments where it says you must use AI for 15% of this project. like you must use AI for X amount of this project. So they do a t-shirt sale and you have to like do your design in AI and you create a store and they sell these things and like he had a student the sales are in November. The student did it was Bucky Badger. it was Halloween and he was like great we're selling these in November and like who's going to want Halloween like he but he said like the kids just then whatever AI gave
048them then they took like there was no so like really we need to >> not just say you can't use AI but we need to start teaching kids how to use AI because they're going to use it every day like the software I use at work AI is now integrated into it and there was no choice like you have to learn how to use Um, so that was really interesting and not where I really thought it was going to go at all. I thought they were going to be like hide like I've seen where they're like hide sentences in white. So when they copy and paste it's a sentence about Frankenstein, which makes no sense about the Revolutionary War. And so you could easily tell that they used AI and I'm like, so that's what
049I expected. That's not at all what it was. >> Um, did the WB um delegate assembly that was interesting as always. They they shortened it and then we went over. Um the the room was -20 degrees I think because they wanted us to rush through. Um there was the emergency resolution which did pass. Um the um changes to the bylaws failed um where they wanted to have tiered system. Um and then pretty much everything else passed except there were two resolutions that were exact opposites of each other. One was decouple um from um like charter schools and private schools and voucher schools and the other was don't decouple which I think we had last year too and don't decouple was the winner. The other one was not. Um uh and then I also went to
050one totally outside all the wheelhouses of things that I ever would go to, but I went to the one um from WIAA on um >> on name, image, and likeness. um mindblowing cuz I just thought it was no you can't you can't do it in high school and apparently you can and there are kids making enough money to I don't know buy a house like in they're 17-year-old kids so something we're definitely going to need to think about in policy handbooks and cuz I don't I um they did say don't write a policy just say whatever the WIAA is doing do that because the it the current policy is super bananas, super strict, some like it's going to change. And so they said to write a policy, you're just going to be constantly updating it.
051Um, but we might want a policy that just says we're going to do a WIA. We're going to follow their policy. Um, and then I feel like I went to some of my classes ran over and so it was that was also weird this year. I went to one other one that I was going to Oh, I went to the the um storytelling one and that was actually fascinating like using plain language. Although they did call um they call it a savings account and I was like immediately I was like, "Oh, I'm cringing cringing for Scott. He's not even here." >> Fun balance. >> Fund balance is a savings account. So, um but it was it was really interesting and I think definitely takeaways. Um, I don't know if they loaded the presentation, but they
052didn't have it at the time, so I they had a QR code and I emailed it to myself. So, might be something we want to look at. >> That'd be good to talk about, too. Uh, just like what we want to be able to pull and share out of some of those resources. I haven't looked back to see what was put online yet at this point is accessible. I also don't know for people who weren't registered for the conference. I download. >> Can you get access or should we pull that into a pool space where you can get a look at some of that too? >> I mean, if we send it to Steve and Steve makes the folder, then yeah, we should be fine. >> Um cuz I know some of them they were
053like, "Oh, we'll post it later." Like, they didn't have it. And some of them were like, "Go on because we didn't we only printed 10 handouts and there were more of you than we expected at 8 a.m." >> They did I do think they did a better job of getting them like onto their website than they have in past years and I kept going back and finding stuff. So, but the finance one like they didn't put a PDF, they put a link to a Canva website which is annoying, but >> um I mean just because it makes it work >> control the link, right? Somebody can they can always delete that. >> We might be able to just screenshot it too and put it in there. But yeah, they had a lot of good like
054reference documentation on what they send out and how to make it like people who don't understand school finance friendly. >> Yeah. >> So that was kind of nice. >> We all slip into it. We we all know just not to be dangerous. >> Yes. >> Exactly. >> It's probably even worse. >> Exactly. >> Yes. >> Yeah. I mean the first question out of their mouth was like who who understands school finance? And like nobody ra some people are like sort of and you're like don't ask me any questions. Yeah. As long as you don't ask me any questions I'll raise my hand like and there was just a lot of there was I mean we all Yeah, you're right. We all understand like high level but when you start getting into the weeds sometimes even
055some of this the definitions they brought up I'm like have we talked about that? We use those words before like I know what it means but I don't feel like we talk about it. So it was definitely interesting. related to gathering materials. It might be nice if we could create a space where like okay I went to like all these things that were really interesting but out of all that these three things like we talk about this in sock we talk about this in finance we talk >> something actionable out of it. >> Yeah. I agree >> useful to share but like >> yes >> otherwise it'll just come. No, I know. And I feel I always feel uh I mean I know that everyone's been able to go. So grateful for that opportunity because
056it's such good learning and exposure and like for me it's not just the sessions that you're in. It's the brain starts working about these other factors that maybe you've seen um you know ideas that you had 2 years ago that pop back in your head. So I think there's a lot that's there for that. >> And I need to learn to drive a school bus because >> we would have got a school bus if I think I had to get off the third floor. on the third floor. >> The plan, how do they get up there and how do I drive up? >> Right. What did you think? Would you some >> um I did go to a few of the um same conferences, but a couple different ones that I were was able to
057attend. Um one was on Title 9 updates. Um and that was just interesting to hear again legal perspective on current moment because everything is changing so much. Um and that the the court cases that are at their Supreme Court right now will really um be important in uh if any changes in policy occur. So just um good to be updated. Um I think we're in a really good place of where we're at so right now. So, um, that was really interesting. As ever, as everything is changing so quickly, it's good to be up to date. Um, one other interesting one that I was able to attend was the WIAA. Um, just about the WIA and learning all how it works, the internal workings of the WIA, which I guess I never knew much about. Um
058so they talked a lot about their um student um representative portion and how students can get involved and how um that opportunity is really um wonderful for students and for the WIA just to gain some perspective and great leadership there. And then they talked a little bit about um uh the competitiveness in different um levels and how they decide and vote and analyze data in order to make those decisions. um and what all goes into it. Um I you know when you see sometimes you see those decisions being made, you think, "Oh, that was quick." It's not quick. Um it's it's thoroughly analyzed um and take uh a lot of different data and wonderful representatives from across the state with different perspectives. So that was really interesting to listen to as well. So >> cool.
059>> Yeah. This is from someone who follows sports knows a little about sports and it was still kind of >> it was it was just you don't I guess you don't know that when you think of WIA at WIA you think of a lot of the state tournaments and that is where they get a lot of their funding but what happens on a regular basis I don't think many people hear that. So that was just >> Yeah. Cool. Thank you. I think uh uh everyone covered a lot of really good stuff. There were three things that I could bring up two of them were just sort of like small um offshoots again. Um and I and I watched where people were headed. So I tried to go to some different areas too. Uh there was
060one that was really interesting about financial literacy. Um Loyal, I believe that's how you pronounce that uh district. uh they had a very successful business person who endowed a teaching position or a program for financial literacy for until the planets explode is what I would say. And um it's cool. It's a staff position and that person not only instructs but also works with the director of curriculum to add that in K through 12 and then she will drop in at various points in time and help instruct but it's actually in very um thoughtful manner inserted into lessons for kindergarteners you know just getting their arms around what finance is. So I thought that was that was really neat. Obviously, you can't replicate, you know, to the extent unless you have someone step forward. If anyone
061wants to come forward with them down then for that. Um, but it's just a thoughtful approach um that I appreciated. There was another one there was CTE at Palaski north of Green Bay and I just went to here. I could tell the other kind of a robust robust program and I didn't what I heard validated what we do here. They're just probably a few years along in terms of maturation. And I heard a lot even what I heard at uh education tonight about how there's this intense interest in IB now that we've had it out there. It's been the same thing with CTE for them where now they're up to, you know, 215 kids doing youth apprenticeships and it's a district of 3,800. So there's some pretty good numbers, but it's still like a lot
062to uh manage and it's just snowballed in terms of the the support. So kind of gave me some um excitement over like where we're headed on the foundation that we're building for these right now. And then the uh the one that uh I was really glad that I went to and it built off of what we had heard at the Dayton County Consortium a little bit. I've heard this a couple of times. Carly and I were there. Middleton has a community ambassador program where they cycle through about 30 40 people every year. Um try to try to really um think about diverse perspectives, people in different circles in the community who they can just walk through what public education is about and talk through some some lessons. And then those people are able to speak
063um intelligently among community members and can also be a focus group or messengers when uh something happens in the district and they need someone who's advocating or at least explaining what's going on in a knowledgeable fashion out in the community. That was that was the consortium. But at um state and was Verona was there talking about their uh various levels of interactive uh groups that they have. Uh there's a staff, student, and community. And it's a another one of those where like it is a resource commitment. Uh I spoke afterward to the woman who organizes all this stuff and it's an administrative load to be able to organize these groups. They meet monthly. Um it's a lot of an open discussion. Um and uh Dr. Clarity is there uh the superintendent to hear what's going
064on. Reports are compiled. It comes back to the board. A lot of board members don't attend just for the amount of time that it takes up, but uh they're getting the full report back of what's on people's minds, what are some ideas that people bringing forward, and they've just they found that it really helps out in terms of um feeling like they have their ear on the ground of the community and the staff and the students. And that was neat. Again, you know, do you replicate the whole program? No. But do you bring in some of the threads of that feedback loop? like it's it's something that I'd love to chat a little bit more about with uh with all of us. So it's I don't know you know commentary I know you weren't able
065to make it and I know we're speaking in shorthand for a lot of this probably too but uh I don't know if there's anything that piqu your interest that we should be thinking about more. You don't have to answer now but um want to make sure you have access to all the materials and can chat more too. Good. All right. Thanks. Thanks for that discussion. That's always a good one. Um Aaron, we got you up for the information and advocacy report. >> Yes. >> Engagement of employees. >> Yes. And this is a a new report. Um I will say um there are so many different um engagement opportunities throughout the district. There's no way you can put them all on paper. And my intent here is to um showcase really the district level um piece.
066This does not get into each building's individual um engagements because they are um likely there, but see if I can pull this up here. Um I will go through um each one briefly. Uh I please ask questions along the way. Um you will see that this the report is organized um here we go uh the report is organized um with with the activity and the purpose and then just a little bit about each one. um most of these activities are reoccurring and happen from year to year, but there are some that um uh are are created and um for just a specific purpose or maybe have a different reoccurrence. So, I'll note some of those as well. Um the first one is is probably one of my favorites, just the all staff convocation and breakfast.
067Um it's really to to welcome everyone back um after the summer and kick off um the school year. Uh uh we hear from Dr. Serno, usually have a guest speaker from the president and maybe other board members. Um we have some celebrations. We have a district-wide staff photo that always amazes that we can give everybody our tours. Um and every eye opening um as well in that picture. Um and then we have a wonderful breakfast. you can just always feel the buzz and energy uh that day. We have various appreciation events that happen throughout the school year. Um these are just a few from um staff appreciation ice cream social. We have a bus driver appreciation breakfast as well as our um summer workers in custodial um lunchon in the summer. Um good news. I
068don't have to say much about that one. You guys are very familiar with that one and we were able to um usually hear about uh what happened in the building as well as celebrate students um and that engagement opportunity. I'm going to come back to building design team and calendar committee at the end here. Um we have regular communications to our um mortal education association. Um, and you guys are probably somewhat familiar with those, but those happen quarterly just to talk about um, legislative uh, budget considerations, district priorities as we um, uh, engage with, meet, confer, and negotiations um, on a regular basis. Um, we do have uh, the district retirement celebration at the end of the year for those who have been with the district for 15 um, years or more. Um and many
069of you have been able to come to that celebration in June. Um the professional development days and we released um be a report in itself and often it is about um talks often about biking voyage which happens in the summer what we're doing on road release days as well as our full day and services in October and January. um and especially in October and January, that's a way um in addition to the summer, we engage all staff in um collectively. And then I would say another releases are more specific content area um to to what building needs and what the curricular level things. Homecoming parade, this also not only incorporates our staff but our community as well. So that's a wonderful opportunity. I'm going to come back to joint leadership as well. Um throughout the
070district we have many different leadership opportunities for staff to engage in um some such as safety team um our curriculum and instruction groups belonging committee um board committees um there's also very specific uh leadership opportunities in um curriculum pilots and things that organizes as well. So, it's really important to have different voices heard and and also grow our staff in in their leadership. Um, new staff orientation and mentor program. Sarah also leads this. Um, we have um a welcome day for our new staff in August, a couple weeks prior to all staff coming back. And staff that are new to our district but not new to teaching have a buddy. um as and then staff who are new to teaching have a mentor for three years. So that's that program. The personnel committee meets yearly
071and um board involvement as well as different um staff representation. Sometimes we're working on policy, sometimes we're working on handbook. This year I think for both of you um I'm going to come back to SA uh safety task force. Um we have various service awards as well in the district. Um at the convocation we recognize um staff that have been 20 spent 25 years with our district. Um we also honor um recognition of longevity through um DPI service awards for our district employees. Um substitute teachers, they are on boarded various times throughout the year. We do have a summertime where they all come together. We do some training together. Um but as new substitutes come into our our um biking team um we have some training for them and then also um everybody has the
072opportunity to do a shadow day before they start. So they can shadow and building up their choices just get their um you know get to know the school district and some employees before day one. Um really enjoy that um option. And then um training, we have regular trainings um as staff on board um but also we have a annual um fall training that happens at the beginning of the year um and winter training that we just are wrapping up really focus on on safety um legal compliance and those um important um aspects that we need to adhere to. Viking scalablemore. This is a wonderful one where um uh uh our students nominate educators who've made a meaningful impact um in their lives and they get recognized at the end of the year. Um and then
073I just noted the wellness survey that you guys just were um just reviewed and various opportunities. You might remember back in the fall I did a a report on staff wellness. So this is not this report. I didn't go into that. Um I just kind of link that. that there are various um wellness opportunities that we have for our staff. Um the ones that I skipped over are not that they're not important. They're just these often all the ones that I spoke of are reoccurring and the others that I have um uh the building design committee, calendar committee, joint leadership and safety task force just meet a little differently. So um building design team is formed when we're in building design, right? So right now we have a wonderful team composed and working on um
074that development calendar committee um as we you know we just we just did that last fall. We were um engaging in our three-year calendar process. So we engage um our our um employees there. Joint leadership is every other year. Um so when we're not doing a handbook year, we also do joint leadership. Joint leadership is with our building leaders um as well as uh teacher represent representatives talking about non-budget nonbudget um related items that um just improve um our support of students um employee relationships and such. And finally, that safety task force job is something that we recently engaged um that came directly from um reviewing our procedures and that maybe isn't um an every thing, but something that was about because of the need. So, I threw a lot at you. Um and that's
075just trying to capture um the engagement that we have with our employees at a disgroup level. So, I'm happy to answer any questions. Lots of these you probably heard about hopefully. Yeah. So, I have a few things. Um, I don't know on the openness on the appreciation events. Have you um kind of considered how they've gone and maybe if there was a need to modify any of them? Just from my perspective, I've tried to participate in in several of them and I just um most of them are run really well. I just wonder like for instance uh the ice cream social event that you guys do like that's at one one school right and the employees are spread across all the schools and it can be difficult for them to get to that event on
076time. Is there thought of maybe splitting up the staff that you know is handing out the ice cream or even if board members are willing to step up and and go to the different schools so the so the teachers don't have to travel to that's usually been at this school. in the past just to try to make it more of a something that maybe all the teachers would attend instead of >> maybe difficulty for them to attend. I guess for the person a bike with a thing on it, >> right? I'll play ice cream music and pedal >> because the idea is to to make them feel appreciated, but if it it's a a burden or a difficulty for them, you know, maybe they won't participate or you know, something like that. Um, so that
077was for the appreciation events. Um the second question I had would was of the the board good news and I know I don't know but uh I don't know if teachers would be willing to come and like so we have the student spotlight we could have a teacher spotlight where the teach you know the teacher would come in and we would you know talk about give the recognition in front of the you know the public you know video um but I don't know if teachers want to be singled out I sometimes can be collected to be praised necessarily. Um and then the third um wonder I guess I had was about the the skull awards which I think is really great and I've um attended that as well. Um but I've heard that not all
078the teachers understand what it is or knew was even happening. Um so I think that's something that a as teacher peers they would want to attend and kind of support the student the students that are um um picking the teachers to to present to and then the teachers themselves that um are being awarded that nice award. So those are just kind of three wonders I guess I had from your presentation. >> Thank you. I appreciate that noted those. Yeah. of the Viking skull or tarn. >> So it we may need to spread the word a little bit more. >> Born out of schoolboard convention from schoolboard convention. So yeah, we've only done it twice so far. Yeah. >> So but yeah, >> a team for that this year already. >> Not yet. >> Okay. And
079any other thoughts or questions or comments for your on that? a couple times even like with what you said about um having like a teacher spotlight. I mean maybe that's just my head. I mean because the the student spotlight is teachers that are nominating a student or could you tie that into having students pick the teacher? >> You can kind of make it more of a yearong thing instead of the skull. Yeah. >> Yeah. Come in and present this as well. That would be great pronouncing. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Thanks everybody. All right. Uh to our uh our action items here. These are both first readings. So no uh specific action on them tonight other than to walk through and try to uh add our our thoughts on this so that we can come
080back and have a more cleaned up version if we need the uh anything addressed. Any questions? >> Yeah. Is it all we need to open both of these red line because it's pretty much all she does. So that's a good question. >> Yeah. The first one here is uh considering visions to 453.3 communicable diseases. I think since the this was last updated in 1998 and there's been a lot of uh communicable DISEASES SINCE THEN. THE EXPERIENCES that we've gone through to learn and adapt the policy. Um we've also took some of the feedback from um our lawyers and also um really just about saying that we're going to follow state, federal, and local laws. And our public health department as as we know really dictated how we we reacted as a district. And so, um,
081it kind of starts, you know, took out some of the fluff, just really said like our job is to promote good health practices and provide education around diseases, um, for students and for staff. Um, and then we're going to follow our federal, local, CDC, and our local local health department, follow the guidelines that they give us. um a piece of information um kind of down at the bottom that caused question um even from Dr. Solerno um but this is specifically written from the law is that the teacher school nurse or principal he in consultation with health care professionals has the authority to temporarily remove the student with a communicable disease. Um the question was like should like how would a teacher even know right and so they're doing it with communic like with a consultation.
082So um that could just be from um you know somebody calling and making a report or hearing it or you know it could be a lot of different ways but um that was kind of rewritten in there. um this policy in itself was kind of revised in terms of experiences and then also the lawyer and then the school nurses we all got together we revised it. Um, and so it's had a lot of input on kind of where we're at. And then just kind of some grammatical stuff and then we exchange like instead of homebound instruction, somebody ends up getting a cool disease, we probably don't want to be going into their house to derive, right? We're still kind of communicating, but we can provide virtual instruction. Um, and then that's kind of about it.
083>> I had one question. I know we have like we brought up the healthcare professional. we went over and and um saw and whatever. But I did have one question as I read reread it. So it says the teacher, school nurse or principal in consultation with health care professional. So the school nurse is technically not the health care professional. >> Yeah. I mean they could be um in that sense they could be the healthare profession. >> So it could be a teacher in conjunction with with CJ. Correct. Yep. Um, and it could be, you know, public health, which which is what happens a lot, right? You're a chicken box. The doctor calls their school nurse. Um, public health medicine county calls their school nurse, says like, "Hey, is this reported? We just make sure that
084they're not school." So, >> now yeah, >> there were a couple changes we made that saw that they don't see on here. >> I think the other version had slightly different wording in a couple places. I saw it medical professional and I couldn't I didn't know which one was most recent got I wonder if it got fixed on the final version but the red line didn't get updated >> the medical provider of the student or staff member replaces healthc care professional which was really vague in the other one so I appreciate the clarity here >> yeah the other one that I had was we had talked about or principal of a school taking out of a school because it's just where you else are you going to be a principal of just the fluff, you
085know, on the fluff and stuff. >> Um, but the only other one that I that I could remember is that was forever ago. Um, it's the while participating in school related activities paragraph. >> We had said no student or staff shall refuse to interact cuz right now this >> says no student but doesn't reference staff. >> It's it's in this >> the other one. Okay. So employer is no student I'll and then or other students or staff. Yep, it does in the version that I have. So I will make sure that that gets to Chelsea. >> Okay. >> So students or staff and then where was the principal or >> uh the one with the health care professional cuz that whole sentence that I didn't like but we have to leave it cuz that's how
086it >> any teacher school nurse or principal. Yep. I agree with that here too. I'll share that with her. >> Yep. Those were the only those were the only two that I can remember from >> And these will this will come back, right? Yeah. >> This will come back. Yeah, I did have a couple more to tease out with everybody. Um the after the big space, the paragraph that a student may be subject to temporary exclusion from school. Um I'm wondering if we could strengthen that to uh a student may be temporarily ex excluded from school. There's a lot of maybe or subject to in it, which I feel like is a lot of it's just kind of like a soft qualifier there. >> Maybe you're So, it's the student may be subject to temporary
087exclusion. >> I would just say it may be temporarily excluded. >> The student say that would excuse me maybe. Well, and that >> Well, except we're saying like >> Oh, yeah. Cuz we're kicking them out. >> Temporarily excluded from >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. So, maybe it's take on the subject to like they are subject to >> temporary exclusion. There's like two gifts, right? And then just on the um the grammar in that it would be if they are suspected I imagine rather than who are suspected should maybe be subject to to exclusion if they are expect sus suspected. >> Oh yeah >> right after that section there the exclusion from school. >> Yeah like if they are suspected >> of having >> Yep. Um and then question on the all the horrors there of
088who has the authority. Um who has the final say in case there's like a discrepancy between any of these groups? I'm just wondering if that's worth spelling out. >> Yeah. I mean a temporary exclusion could like I'm sending you home. It could be anybody could do that. Anybody can do and they can't be overruled. >> I mean they could if they get sent home then then the school nurse could say you come back tomorrow or you know I mean >> okay when one person makes a call it's done for >> that's what I'm asking. Yeah. >> Okay. >> And that was really we looked at it directly state law >> on that part. And then the only other question that I had in here, this policy doesn't have to address it. It's probably addressed somewhere
089else, but talked about notification for that set of parents. And I was wondering about the notification for other students or their guardians when someone is excluded temporarily with >> exposure. your your last sentence um when it says records and information are confidential and will be handled in accordance to state and local laws and so that is then shared in accordance with those laws. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> Yeah. cuz you get the message that someone in your child's class may have cough or >> right >> chickenpox chicken pops and on that similar >> Yeah. So that would be that would Okay. >> And then I think that we did add some of the um we added more to that legal section including the attendance policy to get the excuse Right. Cuz if we tell you
090you can't come to school, we can't then mark it as unex. >> So those are as well. >> I did have one other question. It was toward the top and this is uh and we we ran a lot of state and federal law. We sprinkled in center of disease control county public health. Again, my mind goes to what about when there's contradicting laws or advice, especially given the way that the pollutant climate is right now. Um I'm are we do we have flexibility in here except for state and federal law? Is that basically how it's written? Like CDC can only recommend it's the law that is good. >> Right. And sometimes the the federal law would say this is what must happen. Um so it does but it very rarely does that. It's more CDC
091like CDC gives recommendations. So the specific example would be that CDC just recommended changing the vaccine right like dates and and ages. um Wisconsin Department of Public Health did not change that which meant that then our rules that we have to follow are through Wisconsin health. >> Okay. So wonder if there's a looking for a little statement that who we follow, right? >> Yeah. What what we're bound by versus what's an input, >> right? Because if we write a policy and state law changes, state law will supersede our policy. >> Yeah. >> To make just with that kind of hierarchy. >> Okay. Something I have I'll think through and then I'll bring it back. >> Yeah. Yeah. Thanks. Any thoughts on that one? >> All right. Um are who's handling our next one? Thank you.
092You're in Brian lucky enough to do that one too. >> Um, is this for a second reading or is this first read? >> This is our first reading as well. Military approvement 853. >> I will bring up the red line. >> Awesome. >> Thanks. Thanks. >> Um, and maybe two folks who have been working. Did they bring this forth in the meeting as well? >> So, mostly this was updated to reflect current federal law and any other justif updates, you know, you just said like guidance office. >> Yeah. I mean, none of it was looked at almost 20 years. The only thing I had seen second son's military recruiters allow access to common areas in high schools to change it high in the high school or do we leave it as high? We have one
093high school. >> True. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Are we trying to like future throw out that we need another high school? >> Don't even start after. Um and then I think uh we could say will be allowed access in that next part. >> Uh military recruit, >> right? >> Yeah. >> Those recruiters will have access to common areas in the high school. And will we allow access during school? >> Yeah. >> Do we only ever allow them in the high school? >> Like they never come to middle school like middle school doesn't do a career fair. I guess if they do it's probably at the high school but is it we ever just from like my experience usually is they're usually military are going for the high school kids but I don't think they're
094going or I mean >> I don't either but so high school focus that my brain went >> I mean I guess the recruit like it's specific about recruiting so >> I'll put that question for Sarah just it makes sense but my brain It's just like very specific to high school. >> I've got a couple of smaller ones here. Don't be proud. Uh number two, um right before the red line, uh don't eat the ore. >> Get rid of my comma. to do that. Um, frame number four. Um, seen some chances to do some to a to flip this whole thing. Uh, this sentence cuz you're kind of getting to the the punch line at the end. Um, something along the lines maybe of like military recruiters or reps do not need advanced permission to attend
095certain special events. I assume that's that's how I read that. >> It's giving the exclusions first and then saying what the exclusions are for. >> Yeah, >> that just kind of flipped that whole sentence around. >> Well, yeah. And it sort of does if they're allowed to come. I don't know. This is such a weird policy. If you get fly, we have it, but we don't have like I get it. They're recruiting, but so are like the banks that come during career day. And it's just a weird weird My nitpicky thing is it looks like in 3C there's a double period after student services office at least on my end. >> There is. Yeah. >> 3C end. >> Oh yeah. Like, do we do this same type of like thing with any other group that's
096going to come visit? Like this says they have to give a week's notice so that they kids can adjust their schedules to like do we do the same thing for anybody else? >> I think this one is because it's required by >> this state. Okay, >> got it. >> Eight. I think uh you can tighten that thing up and just say military personnel don't violate any part of this policy will be subject. >> Yeah. I needed in there. >> Yeah. Yep. Yep. And seven is like a whole another exclusion. >> Yeah. >> Right. Like I feel like it needs to be like the same language but just >> grouped differently and like and that says they're only allowed two scheduled appointments. Are those with specific students or are those two scheduled when they come together
097like for everybody? like are you allowed two per year or just two per student and anything outside those two per student are with like the way it's kind of written it it implies maybe student but it's not very explicit like I guess I'd be curious what's in the like what actuals in the legal versus what we have in our policy I didn't read the legal I totally missed that part. So, some clarification on number seven. Um, two per student, two per year. And how does that relate to what legal requirements, right? >> Yeah. And we also don't we have a policy on like student directory data. >> So, that should be a cross cross. But I don't know if that's the same as student records or if that's different cuz I know we have some
098out there and I might be mushing them around in my brain. But >> it's in six. >> Yeah. >> Do you want it below? Is that what you're saying? >> No, but if there if we have a policy on student directory data, which I feel like we have a statement somewhere, then that should be a cross >> cross. I'll move up. And then another one number five that the armed vocational aptitude battery can be offered in November. Is it always in November? Like does it ever change from November? Like is there a snow day? Like if it's in our policy as November and they're like, "Hey, we can't do it till December," then we violate our policy. So maybe it's something that they always schedule in November, but maybe it would make sense. Maybe just
099in November annually. Yeah, >> you can tell Sarah you were very excited sit here with us. Um, do we, this goes for this is another question for like anyone who comes in. I think I know the answer, but I have to ask, but for military, it's different because they have their own background checks or whatever. Do we still require background checks on anyone who comes in, whether they're military or not, or do we trust that they're cleared through military? >> They would have their visitor aware badge. >> They still have to go through that process. >> Yeah. Right. Maybe bring kids to lunch, but anybody coming into our building, any kind of visitor or recruiter would use our visitor aware system. >> Okay. Correct. >> Yeah. And and less worried about active because I figure
100they're on top of that. But the when it says reps, I'm like, okay, that's kind of a broad category who you might bring in. Okay. Is Yeah, they go through some hoops. It feels like hoops for the military recruiters to get in. Well, I will I will bring these suggestions to Sarah and we'll come back. >> Sounds good. >> All right. 88A citizens comments. We have any new ones there? We got uh upcoming meetings. uh BGT uh Thursday an important one finance committee next week along with personnel committee still meeting on personnel correct >> on February 10th >> um and then we're all back here for saw and full board on February 16th. >> The only thing um Dr. And also just to mention um again with the importance of the February 5th meeting, but
101depending on what fall comes out of it, there could be another meeting scheduled if need be if they've been needed. So just be aware that will be communicated if if that occurs. >> Sounds good to enterain motion to >> second the gun. All in favor? Any opposed? Meeting is adjourned.
