Um we have our Jefferson student showcase. Are we all ready to uh wander up here? And then as you guys are talking, if any of the students are talking, just make sure that the light on the microphone is green for them. All right, you guys hear me? Okay. Okay. Uh, good evening. Thanks for having us. I'm Kyle Alberto, the principal at Jefferson Elementary School. I'm here with Allison Jolassic, one of our fabulous 5K teachers, and also four three current 5K students and one first grade student that Allison had last year who will be putting on the showcase for you. Um, Victoria, Wes, Juniper, and
014Colton. Um, just really quick, giving you a quick overview of who we are at Jefferson, what we're striving to become. Our guiding coalition, um, has been working really hard. It's a b a team of our teacher leaders um myself and our instructional coordinator Kristen Davis. Um we've been doing a lot of work this this whole school year but some of our work has been around our mission and vision. We kicked off the year really rooting ourselves in our mission which is all students will learn at high levels just period no questions asked. Um we recently finalized our vision as a team and introduced it to our whole staff and did some work around this um about two weeks ago. At Jefferson, every student is known, valued, and challenged to learn at high levels. Through strong,
015focused instruction, consistent expectations, and partnership with families, we ensure all students develop skills, confidence, and the character, excuse me, to create their own path and succeed in school and beyond. That's a mouthful, but we highlighted some really important words, known, valued, challenged, and learning at high levels and created that into a oneliner. And our motto has always been um every student every day whatever it takes. You you guys have all seen our theories of action. So I'm not going to go into all details here, but essentially at the root of it, we are trying to improve uh our our level of tier one instruction to have high quality universal instruction. Some things that we've been focused on this year as a building is building our professional learning community. Um uh uh the heaviest lift that
016we've had is implementing consistent um collaborative meetings in literacy, math, and behavior throughout the year. Um literacy and math are two two hours a week. Um some of them with our fabulous instructional coordinator Kristen Davis facilitating. Some of our teams are now at the point where teachers are facilitating the um the work. Really focused on building teacher clarity and analyzing student work. Um, we are also focused on learning intentions and success criteria, which is that teacher clarity part, focused instruction, checks for understanding, and what we're focused on here tonight, early literacy and early intervention. Couple other things I put on there more from that coaching and leadership um standpoint of making sure that we are um conducting consistent coaching and feedback cycles, which is happening consistently in our building with um our instructional coordinator. We've
017also started doing vicarious learning experiences where our teachers are filming themselves and um uh doing some reflection on that. I could talk for a long time about all that, but I'm going to pass it on to Allison Jolassic who's going to take you through a um the components of a UFly lesson, which is the program we're using to build foundational literacy skills in our early grades. So, please welcome Alison Jassic. Good evening. Thank you for having us. Um, phonics and UFly is one of my favorite things to talk about. So, we're really happy to be here. And I have some excellent kindergarten helpers that are going to show their knowledge with all of you. Um, they might be a little shy, but they're very smart. I promise they they know what to do. They might
018be a little reserved though. Um, so with that, we'll do first a brief introduction to myself. This is my fourth year teaching, but my second year at Jefferson, and I'm incredibly passionate about highquality literacy and phonics instruction. Um, it truly is a right for every student to be able to read, and it's I take that responsibility very serious to get them there. Um, and this program has really been that vehicle to drive students to success with um, foundational skills. Um, and so I found this program when I was in my first year teaching and I had students that weren't growing. So, I kind of went a little rogue at my previous school and I did this and as a first year teacher at that building, I had the highest MAP growth in the entire school
019just from how powerful this program is. And so, that kind of lit a fire and passion in me to share it with as many children as I could. Um, and kind of a brief overview of what this program is. Um, I pulled some quotes directly from their website, but UFly stands for the University of Florida Literacy Institute. It's an explicit and systematic program that teaches students the foundational skills necessary for proficient reading. Um, it's designed to be used and for core instruction at levels kindergarten through 2 grade and then as intervention from any grade there above. Um, and something that's really awesome about this program is it follows a systematic scope and sequence. So each lesson builds on the previous lesson. Students never going to be introduced and expect to be mastered something they haven't
020already been taught. Um, and then everything is super accessible. Like the manual is the only physical piece that you need to teach this. And everything else is found online on their toolkit for anybody. Anyone could go right now and pull all the materials that I used to teach with every day. So very accessible. So this is a lesson that we have already done in my kindergarten class. Um, and I want before we dive into this, I chose a very diverse group of students. I have students up here representing lots of different groups such as multil- language learners, students with an IEP, students that were with us in K4 and students that were with us that just joined in K5. So, a real diverse group of where they started with their letter skills and kind of
021hurdles that some of them may chase individually and how to get there and how this program truly meets every student where they are. So, my students saw this lesson a few weeks ago. we start our diagraph unit which is two letters that make one sound. So today we're going to teach all of you a little bit about the letters S and H and how they say shh. All right. So every UFI lesson is comprised it's broken up into two days. So each skill is two days and we start with this phmic awareness part. So this is where I'm going to have my friends help me out here. All right, let's start with blending. Fish. >> Good. Now let's pound and tap. Show me your hands. >> Shin. Sh. >> Good job. And then we move
022into our visual drill. And all of these are abbreviated versions of what each lesson is. Each of these components um I'm sorry, each lesson is an hour total broken up into two 30 minute chunks over the two days. So there's many more examples throughout. So now I'm going to go into our visual drill where our students will tell us the sounds that they see on the boards and how they would read them. Very good. Now, here we go to our auditory drill where I will say a sound. The students will write them on their handydandy little boards here. All right, let's start with write me the three ways we can spell. Three ways to spell. So, they're writing on their boards the letters C, K, and then the diagraph CK. Do you guys want to
023hold them up for people to see? You want to show them? Show them. Next, please write the letter that says a and a letter that says I I. So, usually run through many more letters than this, but we're going to keep moving. Um, for time sake, I won't go into this one in depth, but there's a separate link that then we do blending drills where they get to change and move sounds around and then read the words to me. And then we go into our new concept. So a consonant diagramraph is two >> two letters make one sound. >> And we previously learned that ck says C like in the word duck or >> wow. >> And now we're learning that we have s and h which by themselves say s and but together they
024say like the first sound in the word >> sheep. sheep. We can have at the beginning like in this word, Victoria. Good. Or this word, Wes. >> Shop. >> Or we can have it at the end like in this word, Juny. >> Fish. Or Colton. Like in this word, >> very good. We're going to read some of these together. So, let's go with Victoria. >> Good. Wes. Sh. >> Juny >> shell and Colton. >> Um sh >> shock. >> Good job. Shock. And then we practice by spelling our words. So my friends up here, can you spell the word rush? >> Rush. Rush. And you can hold it up to show. Rush. Good job. So, that would wraps up our day one. And then day two starts with an overview of the slides I just
025showed. Um, and then we go into word work, which is my students usually their favorite part of the lesson. So, make me your ladders. So, this is where we take sounds away and put new sounds in. All right. Your first word on your ladder is shin. >> Shin. >> Good. Then we're going to change We're going to change shin to ship. What do we take away? >> I don't know. >> If you do, >> take away and give it. >> Very nice. >> Good. And then the next part would be our irregular words or our heart words as we call them. These are words that students cannot sound out. They don't follow the conventional rules of phonics. So, this is our example for today. What's this word? >> What? >> Want. >> Ready? Then we
026spell want. Then we write it. These ones are really tricky because they can't sound these out and there's a lot of different letters to remember. And then we go into a sentence that'll have one of our students read for us. Victoria, can you read this for us? >> Very nice. I know. Aren't they so cool? And then typically I have the students write a sentence, but that can be a little tricky and a little timeconuming, so we're going to skip that today. And then I put this up here to show an example of what the students would read in my small groups after um YouFly has these decodables. So again, these are the things that they have been taught how to read. I'm never going to give them something they haven't been shown how. Um
027and yeah, that concludes what a UFly lesson would look like. Um, this was kind of I last year when I was trying to bring it to our school, it was a kind of a long and hard battle to get people to look at and to see how wonderful it is. But now I have students in first grade performing incredibly well on their testing, students in kindergarten that are low risk in their literacy categories. And so it's amazing to see that these students are really taking a hold of this and really showing up as proficient readers and writers even in kindergarten. And it's I don't know. It's just awesome to see because they're they're coming doing their job every day at school and they're being really successful. So I don't know if you wanted to wrap
028up with something. >> Any questions? >> Yeah. Any questions though? >> Yes. >> Microphone. >> Okay. Um, I noticed first I want to say I like noticed that your kids were really engaged um doing this and like they're probably really nervous, but I think it's great that they're still engaged. Um, you also mentioned that when you started you fly um it was when you went like kind of rogue at a different school. So, how big of a difference did you see like in terms of engagement between what you used to do and with you fly? And do you find that the kids like enjoy like reading or writing more than they used to with the other thing they used to do? >> Yeah, thank you. So, at my previous school is really unstructured. And um
029I don't know if any of you have ever been in a kindergarten classroom that's unstructured, but that's pretty wild. And so, and I think with any kid, the more structured and predictable a routine can be, the more successful they're going to be. And so you can flip through this entire book. Every single lesson of every single sound is going to be comprised of the same elements. So I believe that that's part of why students are so successful with this. It's because it's so predictable and so manageable for them and I can modify it to meet them where they're at. Um and that predictability is really engaging for them. And I have kids every lesson whenever we do the word work, make our ladders, they go, "Yay!" It's like that's that's exciting to hear because not
030every kid is stoked to write words. So Other questions from the board? Comments? Sure. Mr. Tolani, >> I just wanted to know if you're the only 5K teacher using this or are the other ones also using it? >> Yeah. So, last year our team was the only team in the district using this and I was trying to share my data with anybody I could. So, I was emailing anyone I could think of. So, I was probably really annoying cuz people would see my name pop up so I could share our results with everybody. And so, very luckily, our team was able to still use it this year. And kind of at the very last minute, it was approved for every school to decide whether or not they wanted to use it. So, right now, every
031kindergartener and first grader at Jefferson is receiving UFly instruction. I can't speak specifically to other schools, um, but I do know that many people have enjoyed using it, and I'm hoping that the push for it continues. I I know my daughter who's right behind you in Miss Holiday's class, I often hear her using the same strategy. So, >> yeah, and they're very simple strategies that students can carry with them to grade level and grade level. Um, which is why first grade is seeing such success now with their readers and writers, too. >> Thank you for bringing this to Jefferson. >> Absolutely. >> Just wanted to also chime in. So it is a district-wide initiative um for to um the the unfortunately the scholastic uh adoption does not cover a lot of the uh literacy components
032and soy is being used as a substitute uh to support that work and it's been we've seen a lot of success with it. We're also trying to evaluate uh where we are with Scholastic and I think we have three years left on that particular adoption, but there are some some noticeable gaps with literacy as we uh try to be in compliance with the act 20 stuff with the state and the um the science of literacy. So you is a nice bridge for that. >> Thank you. Other questions? Sure, Miss De. >> Thanks. I actually don't have a question. I just um want to thank you guys for coming because I was incredibly impressed by the presentation and when I see I get I just sit so excited when I see teachers that are so dedicated
033and just excited about what they're doing in the classroom and so I think that really that conveys to the kids. So I'm I thought this was a really great presentation and I I'm I thought that this is great. I the kids did great and so did you. So thank you. Thank you. >> Thanks. Any other comments? Sure. Mr. Becker. I just wanted to ask if any of the kids had any thoughts. Like you guys really did seem to be enjoying yourselves. Um what what makes this so fun for you guys? >> Anybody? Yeah. Go ahead. >> Just fun. >> What is it? What does it help you be able to do by yourself? What can you do by yourself now because of phonics every day? >> I don't know. >> Can we read lots of
034words and lots of stories? >> Yes. Is that cool to be able to read things? >> Yes. >> And is it cool to be able to write things? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> Is it fun to watch me teach and go crazy every day with phonics? >> Yes. >> Okay. As you can see, I try to use a lot of hand motions to engage more so in the beginning with sounds and that gets the kids really like their multiensory um way to engage with this stuff, too. So, it it es and flows, but for the majority, I I rarely have to to fight students on working with me because because they know it helps them and they they're excited to then read with me and our small groups do. Although, they were a
035little less wordy with that than I was. >> All right, other questions, comments? >> No. Okay, thanks for having us. >> Thank you for coming and hopefully this leads to lots of novels in your future. Starting to read the big ones. Thank you so much for your time. We really appreciate all of you. >> Thank you. >> All right. And with that, that will take us to our next section of the agenda tonight, which is going to be our superintendence report. So, Dr. Robinson, take it away. So, we don't have any legislative updates for tonight, so I'm going to get right into the report. DPI schools of recognition, uh, high impact schools. I want to send a special congratulations out for uh Nathan Hill High School, Persian Elementary School, and Walker Elementary School. I received
036a notice from DPI on last week. The um Wisconsin schools of recognition program honors title one schools at least 40% enrollment from low-income households that are ensuring educational success for our students, especially among those fa facing economic challenges. This distinction is based on a rigorous set of criteria including academic performance, measurable progress and student growth or graduation rates reducing achievement gaps particularly among students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. So we want to send a special congratulations to these three schools who are recognized by DPI on last week. Hail unified basketball and cheer uh compete at state. Hail's unified basketball and cheer teams competed at the Ralph Davis State High School Unified Basketball Tournament at Gateway Sports Academy, joining unified uh champion schools from across the state in celebration of inclusion, teamwork, and the spirit of competition.
037We are proud of our teams for representing hell at the state level. So, shout out to those uh young men and young ladies uh for um for just just being themselves and just I it is truly a thrill to watch them play. We're going to bring up uh Jordan Pard at this time who's going to give us a quick preview of our next production production as well as uh some cast members who are here with him today. All right. >> All right. Good evening everyone. Um, so our next production is The Box Car Children. It is the intermediate uh non-m musical play. Um, and the show runs from May 14th through 16th at 7 p.m. and then May 17th at 2 p.m. at Franklidd Wright. We have three cast members here. We have Carly Burns,
038Vivian Stafel, and Shaa Yang. Um, and so first, uh, Carly's going to tell you a little bit about the show. >> So, a short summary, there are four Short summary. There are four children. Henry the oldest. Violet, Jess, and Benny, the youngest, are orphans. And not being able to live in their own home. They find a freight car in the woods and turn it into their new home. And everything's going peacefully, like they have money, resources, everything until Violet comes down with a case of pneumonia. There are a lot of ups and downs and lots of things happen. Come see the show to find out what happens. Um, hello. Can I move this? Okay. Well, I'm going to be talking about what we've learned this like what we've been doing. So, like this past couple
039these past couple of weeks, we've been what we've learned at like rehearsals and stuff, we learned about like we should My bad. Um, like Wait, can I look I have this down. Okay, we learned about how to communicate with one another and to like listen to each other's ideas and stuff. And then we also learned about how to build the courage and how to build up our stage um performance and how we're how we should act. And lastly, we like learned about how to act cuz with this play, it's like very limited of like props and stuff. So, we learned like how to tell a story without so many props and how to use our imagination and our facial expressions, our body, like you know. And yeah, that's >> you should come see our show
040because it is completely studentrun. There is no set, so we've had to rely on our creativity, acting, and imagination to put together a show. We are all really proud of what we've created and would love for you guys to come see it. >> All right. Thank you. Um, yes. I don't know how many of you might be familiar with the play Our Town. It's a a show by Thornton Wilder. Does not have a set, doesn't have props. This show is written specifically that way. So, like the student said, it kind of relies a lot on um mimming and just their creativity overall. Nope. The show is written um where there's like a a drawn line. I think we're using a couple platforms um but other than that, yeah, it's written in a very unique way.
041something a new challenge I think for a lot of our students. So, um a couple other quick updates for the theater program. Um on May 12th, um a group from our cast of Catch Me If You Can was invited to perform at Skylight Music Theater downtown. They have an annual high school theater showcase. So, we'll be performing a couple of numbers there and they get to perform on a professional stage, which is really cool, a really cool experience for a bunch of them. And then um our 2026 2027 season reveal event where we'll be announcing the shows for next school year will take place on Friday, June 26th in the evening at West Dallas Central High School and it will be a mystery dinner theater. Um more information will be posted on our website for
042that. So any questions for the students or for myself >> questions, comments? No. Over the past couple of months, there's been a lot of work uh from our district's athletic department to ensure that our students have um an equal playing field um equal chance for success on the playing field or playing surface through through our WIA sports. I was challenged in that effort to um get uh central and hell in the same conference. I was challenged by several people at WIA instead of fussing to be a part of the problem or solutions I should say. And so uh I actually put my my name in for an ATL large position on the board of control. And so I was selected and so I will serve on 2627 school year as an ATL large uh member
043of the board of control for WIAA. So instead of me fussing, I will be actually someone who can do something in about it. So that's just uh I'm Hey, I'm putting my uh my my I'm closing my mouth and I'm actually going to do something about it. So all right. All right. So, these are a couple of community events I just wanted to highlight. Um, Catch Me If You Can. I did attend that production. Um, had um the Mitchell Elementary School Orchestra and Band concert. Just wanted to highlight that as well. Um, a lot of different meetings, but um, we had a pretty long night. Uh, could be a long night. Uh Georgia is our voice representative today and uh Georgia is a junior at Nathan Hail as a member of Renaissance leadership team as
044a mentor part of the track and field team member of Rotary Interact Club enrolled in multiple AP classes member of the hope squad and drum major for the Hill band. Georgia give us an update what's going on in Nathan Hill. >> Okay, there's a lot going on at Hail guys, so prepare yourselves. Uh this past Sunday, so yesterday, Rotary had our highway cleanup. Um I went along with a lot of other students in Rotary, including Brandon, another voice rep from Hail. So, we had a lot of fun. We were playing music. It was a It was such a vibe. It was great. I loved it so much. Um, this Saturday in the morning and the afternoon is state solo ensemble at Carol for all of our uh band, orchestra, and choir students. But then in
045the evening, we have prom, which is super exciting. I know. Um, we voted for our prom court and we're going to vote for kings and queens soon. That's exciting. We start our AP tests next Monday right after prom. So that's great. >> And next week is also hope week for hope squad. Um there is going to be a spirit week for hope week. We haven't decided the days I don't think. But there will also be penny wars and next week is also teacher appreciation week. So I think that'll be fun too. And that's it. >> Penny. I'm right here. >> Penny Penny wars. Okay. >> Penny wars. It's going against advisories. So, if you put depending on how much change you put into like your like little bucket, whoever has the most change wins. But
046then you can also like put pennies in other people. Pennies are bad, but everything else is good. So, whoever has more pennies loses. Whoever has >> more like quarters and dimes and nickels, they win. So, it's a great way to kind of like raise money, but also like >> this is hilarious because no, >> Mr. Burns was trying to tell me what Penny Wars were and he was wrong. >> Actually, actually, >> at least I think that's what Wars is. >> No, we had a different version. >> Um, yes. Typically, when you do penny wars, it's the opposite of what she said. Pennies are pluses for your group cuz we used to do it when I was in high school. So we would do it against the freshman, whatever. So if you put pennies in,
047that gave you points and then the silver was what? So >> I might be wrong, guys. I might be wrong, but that's that's the way I understood it. That's what >> I believe you're right, Georgia. I think >> I might be right. If I'm wrong, don't tell anyone. >> It's one way or the other, right? I don't feel too bad tonight because I really thought I was the only one that didn't know. So I guess it's all good. Thank you, Georgia. I appreciate it. Are you Are you attending prom? >> Of course, I'm going to prom. What kind of question is that? >> Sorry. >> I've been looking forward to this for for all year. >> Okay. >> I will be there. I I will be there. Yeah, I will be there at the Harley-Davidson
048museum. Right. >> Yeah, I'll see you there. >> You'll see me there. I'll be there. All right. On the dance floor. No, I won't be. You may be, not me. All right. That concludes my report for tonight. >> Are are you sure? >> I'm positive. >> All right. Okay. Thank you so much. All right. So, that will take us to our public comments uh portion of the night. So, at this time, if anyone would like to address the board, you may sign up at the back of the room or in the Zoom link which is in the chat. Introduce yourself with your name and address. You have three minutes to provide comments. The board cannot discuss, debate, or act upon any item during the public comments portion of the school board meeting. Follow-up may be
049provided by the superintendent at the next regularly scheduled board meeting. All right. And so I will check who we have on there if anyone. All right. And at this time we have Angelo Tinario. Right. Just make sure the lights green up there. Sounds great. >> Good evening everyone. Good evening, president, vice president, officers, members of the school board, superintendent, and members of the public. My name is Angelito Tenorio, and I am the state representative for the 14th Assembly District. My district covers majority of West Dallas, parts of Milwaukee and Tulsa. And I'm here to introduce myself and offer myself as a support and liaison to the legislature. So, big part of my background, I'm the son of Filipino immigrants. I'm the product of a union household. And my parents from an early age instilled in
050me the values of giving back and serving others. And that's what drives me with everything I do personally and professionally. I attended WMadison. I'm a proud Badger. And it was during my time at WMadison where I really found my passion and calling to public service, especially being in a community, a city with a rich history of activism and organizing and the state capital being right there as well. Really seeing the importance of young people of people from all communities stepping up and making sure that our voices and values and our communities are being represented at all levels of government. Um, I pivoted to environmental organizing. I really believe in protecting the environment, combating climate change, advocating for clean air, clean water. So I did work with an organization called Wisconsin Conservation Voters. And through that
051work, I had the pleasure of working with local governments, with members of our community. And that's when I after having conversations with family, friends, neighbors, that was the first opportunity I had to run for public office. and I'm proud to have served on the Wallala City Council um prior to serving in the legislature and now I'm in my first term as your representative. I am your voice in the state capital. I'm your voice in Madison. And a big reason why I decided to run for this office is to support our public schools, to support our school district, to make sure that our kids, our teachers, our para educators, our staff, our communities and families have the resources that they need. This is one of the top issues that I hear from constituents as I'm knocking
052on doors. One of the top issues that I hear from voters in my office. um making sure that our schools that the West Dallas West Milwaukee School District has the resources that you need in order to provide excellent opportunities for the kids that we saw earlier today and kids across our community making sure that the state is doing its part. So there's a lot more work that we need to do. the state and we'll continue this conversation has a multi-billion dollar surplus that I believe that we must use to invest in our school districts because the jobs that you have as directors on our school board is very difficult but I believe there's so much that the state can do to make sure that you have that funding and support to provide for our classrooms
053for our kids for our students and our families. Um, so I just wanted to offer myself as a as a resource and as a support as we all share constituents and we all serve the same communities. My contact information for for you all and members of the public. Please feel free to reach out to me or my office. My phone number is and my email is rep.tenorioledgis.wisconsin.gov. And if there are any issues, any questions that you have, any concerns that you have or comments that you feel that I should hear as I'm doing the people's work representing our community in the state capital, please feel free to reach out anytime. And my website is rep.tenorio.com. Thank you everyone. >> Representative Tinario, could you also include your address? >> My address is 1555 South 74th Street.
054Thank you. All right. Um, then we'll see anybody else signed up. I do not see anyone. So, I will give a moment to see if anyone comes on from either the Zoom or in here. Seeing none at this time, I'm going to close public comments and we will move on to item number 11, our board report. Uh, we'll start with 11.1, our review of the board calendar, which apparently I just closed. All right. So, tonight, April 27th, we have a regularly scheduled board meeting. Uh, and then on May 11th, 2026, we will have another regularly scheduled board meeting where we'll have the teaching and learning workshop with the 612 social studies adoption workshop. And then May 18th, we will have another regularly scheduled board meeting uh with no topics slated specifically at this time. Um
055that will take us into our next spot which is 11.2 the appointment of the district parliamentarian, the CISA 1 delegate, uh the WASBY delegate and the WASBY alternate. So these are voluntary positions that uh as people express interest we can then uh select and and keep going for our representation around uh the other groups that we have uh involved in our our work around the state here. So um I think for the starting here why don't we start with uh our district parliament well the school board parliamentarian. Um, so is there anyone that has any interest in the parliamentarian role, >> Mr. Chair? I do. >> All right. Thank you. Is there anyone else with interest at this time? All right. Well, since you are the only one that's expressing interest, congratulations. You're our parliamentarian.
056>> Thank you. >> All right. Um, then we'll move on. And these are appointments, so we we're not No one has to vote on these ones. They're just unless we have multiples. Um, CISA1 delegate. Anyone that is interested in our CISA1 delegate? >> I would be interested in taking over for Miss Kaiser. >> Okay. Uh, anyone else interested in the CISA 1 space? All right. Seeing none, you can take that appointment as well. Thank you and congratulations. Um, WASBY delegates. This is where we're going to have two. We have one that is our main that will be doing most of the work, but then we have our alternate that will need to be able to step in should something happen or uh conflicts of any kind that come up so that you can step in
057and and fill that role as needed. So, do we have anyone that is currently interested in the WASBY delegate roles? >> Mr. Lee, I am the I was the current WSBY delegate for last year. It was my first year doing it. Um I really think there could be a way to get better outcomes and continuing to do that. So I would like to continue doing asby delegate. >> Okay. All right. And so as the primary then? Yes. Yeah. >> Uh yes, that would be my preference. So the main thing is just basically voting at the at the education conference and expressing the vote from the board as we go through the resolutions that are presented. >> Okay. All right. Good. Uh, does anyone else want to >> alter? Oh, sorry. You're still looking at the
058>> No, I I can jump. I'm I'm flexible. So, go ahead. You want the alternate space? >> I was going to say >> Okay. So, we we have the delegate and the alternate. Is anyone else have any other uh interest in the WASBY representation? No. Okay. Well, congratulations, Mr. Lee, and congratulations, Mr. Becker. be our WASBY delegates then as we well delegate and alternate. Thank you. Um as we move forward so then that will take us if we have nothing else with that we will take uh our board committee reports starting with our financial stability and efficiency. Miss Carr, are you ready to go? >> I am. >> All right, go ahead. >> All right. At our financial stability and efficiency committee meeting on Tuesday, April 16th, we discussed the following. Number one, we reviewed
059a structure to analyze lowering class sizes and how that would impact the district's revenue and expenses. We will have more to share on this in future meetings. So, we just just touched like the surface there. So, we will go deeper for you guys. Number two was our health insurance broker um R RFP which is a request for proposal is underway. We had five bids come in and are conducting three interviews the first week of May. We are hopeful to review this and bring the results to the full board for approval by the end of May or early June at the latest. Our third area of business was Shelley Stasser joined the FSE committee to discuss the potential pool expansion at our new fitness center here as well as the community track redevelopment at Frankl Wright.
060We are planning a joint committee meeting for June to discuss these further and with the hopes of a possible full board workshop in July about those items. And this last one, they're kind of connected. I'm going to call it just a little bit of a spoiler or a teaser here. So, this third one here that are talking about the pool and talking about the track. So, number four was finally Michael Clark from the Beard Financial joined the FSE committee to discuss a potential underlevy strategy for the school year. This would provide the board additional revenue limit authority in 2728 as well as save the taxpayers substantial amount in interest by paying off our referendum bond early. Uh the committee is going to continue to discuss this and we will report back. So once again, doing
061this might benefit other things in the district besides that, aka some of the things that we I talked about in number three. So this concludes the uh summary report from our committee. >> Okay. Thank you, Miss Carr. Um and with all those surprises and things, um does anyone have any questions uh for this committee? Any further comments? No. All right. Thank you, Miss Carr. Appreciate it. And then that will take us to 11.3.2, which would be our recreation and community services. Miss Lee, are you ready to go? >> I am all set, Mr. Burns. Thank you. Um, okay. So, two items that we discussed of old business was our before and after school care RFPs. There was a listening um and question session held with the current AM action and action 330 staff on the
06224th of March with positive outcomes. Um then Miss Straer and her team followed up the meeting by sending an FAQ to all staff members so everybody had the same information even if they weren't there. Um then Shelley and Tai attended a PTA council meeting on April 8th um to share information on the RFP and get feedback um from the PTA representatives as well. Um our deadline to submit um proposal or the deadline to submit RFPs was Friday the 17th. We did receive four proposals. Um Shelley and her team are working on a timeline and creating a comprehensive team uh to review those proposals and see how they measure up to what our current practices are. Um we discussed strategies to help remedy some of current challenges that we are experiencing with our action program and
063staffing structures um that are being explored for the 2627 school year. Uh the annual parent and staff survey has gone out window closes this week. Um as of right now the rec department is planning to offer action programs at all nine elementary schools for next school year. um given the fact that the RFP process is time consuming and um so just that we're not rushing anything. We're just going to leave as is for this next year. Um there's still some work to be done with that. Then the other thing was our high school athletics end of year or end yeah end of year satisfaction survey. So we are working with school perceptions again for this survey to compile data. There was an email notification that went out I believe today um with the link to
064the survey. So please the more the more people that can respond and data we can get definitely helps drive many things in the future. So if you haven't done it yet, please look for that in your emails. Um the survey window is today through May 8th. Um and the survey results will be incorporated in the next workshop later this summer. And that would conclude my notes. All right. Any questions for the uh wreck and community services committee? >> Mr. Lee, >> real quick on the survey. I thought we had asked about um allowing an option for like comments. I didn't know if the survey questions had been modified at all from the one that we received last year. >> Shel's Shel's walking up, I believe. >> One moment, please. Oh, there. >> Yeah. Yeah. School
065perceptions did add a space now at the end of the survey where both student athletes and parents can just type in and add any comments that they have if there's something not asked in the question that was they wanted to share. >> Thank you very much. I I think it's really just because you're talking about all year long. You could have someone in three different sports and so a lot of the questions last year were kind of like overall what did you think about this and if you had two great experiences and one bad experience it was hard to really enumerate that in the last year. So I'm gl I'm happy to see that. So thank you very much. >> All right. Any other questions this time? >> No. All right. Well, then that will
066move move us into board member reports of community events. So, board members, what community events have you attended? Sure, Mr. Verbos, >> I'd love to go first. I went to see uh Catch Me If You Can, which was fantastic. I mean, I know I spoke with Dr. Robinson about it. We both very much liked it. Um, you know, I think that, you know, it's it was I think my my favorite show that I've seen them do so far. I thought that the choreography was spectacular. I thought that the the the the singing was spectacular and I thought that having a little bit more of a um sort of mature sort of storyline to be followed was made it more enjoyable for the adults that are attending that were attending the show. I I couldn't say
067enough good things about it. Um and then I also uh last week attended the NHS induction ceremony at West Central High School. Um and yes, my uh my child is the treasurer now. Uh which is very exciting. But uh again, they they actually inducted uh the largest class of NHS members to date uh this year at West Ellis Central, which just shows how well those students are performing and how, you know, which means how well the school is performing and supporting them. So I thought that was really really great. >> Excellent. Thank you, Miss Carr. Thank you. So, I also attended the play and I I thought back to when a year ago when all of those seniors were graduating and we sat here and they came in and we said, "How will we ever
068survive without you?" You know, how they were so talented and so wonderful. And then here we have a whole another batch of kids that will be graduating. And I thought to myself, "Wow, the the cream rises, you know, it really those those kids get their time in the spotlight." And then I thought, "Wow, you know, how is how does this all happen?" And it was after the performance on Sunday, they gave awards to the um the kids that were in at least six or more plays and they got a medal and they get to wear them at graduation. And I thought, "Wow, six plays. Dang." But there were kids that were in 13 16 plays and I I I just thought that that was so wonderful and that's why that cream is rising. They've gotten
069all these opportunities and I thought that was really special. Um I also did go to um the 4K 5K uh spring concert at Jefferson on Wednesday. It was adorable. And uh it started with last week one of the Jefferson kindergarteners saying, "I'll be wearing yellow uh because they all dressed as uh uh the rainbow and the crayons." And um the thing that really stood out was um the principal also wore a crayon costume. Then this grown man walked in in that yellow crayon outfit and I thought, "You know what? We do a lot for our kids. We do." you know, he was like, "Sure, I'll do it." So, it was delightful and I enjoyed it. >> Excellent. Thank you. Sure. Mr. Tani, >> I also was uh Miss Carr hit most of the highlights, but
070uh yeah, I also attended the Jefferson 4K 5K concert. It was um amazing. Um and obviously my daughter's in 5K and she was one of the yellow ones. So, um yeah, it was good to see Mr. Berto up there uh in his crayon costume. I had to take a picture and send it to him. Um so yeah, thank you, >> Miss Aki. She she always does a phenomenal job, but um she she's an amazing gem we have in this district. >> Thank you. Anyone else? Mr. Becker, >> uh also made to uh catch me if you can. Loved it. always loved the the pit shows. Great seeing the kids come up over the years. Uh also made it to a couple track meets over at Hail. Went to the JV meet and a varsity meet.
071One on a gorgeous 70°ree afternoon and one on a 40°ree rainy Saturday morning >> all in the same week. >> Um yeah. Uh you know, as always, I think it's great seeing kids participate, especially in track. It's not necessarily about where did you finish in the race. Did you PR? Did you get a personal best? It's always uh good to see kids stretching and and just trying to get better every meet. All right. Excellent. Anyone else things that have happened? No. All right. Well, I wasn't able to get to anything last week. I was in Philadelphia. So, I'm looking forward to get into a couple of things this week and next. Um, if there's nothing else, we are going to be moving on to our updates, which is, uh, other updates from me. Uh, and
072just the only thing that I wanted to put out there is that, um, I'll be sending out an email for all of you to, uh, give me a list of the different committees you'd like to be on. Uh, and then please include any of the committees that you'd like to be chair on or would be interested in being chair on so we can get that selected. Um, we're going to be cancelling all of our committee meetings for the rest of this month and then we'll start back up uh here next month with the new committees and the new chairs for everyone. So, just so everyone's aware as we move forward with that. Um, and that is all I have for that. So, we will move into our consent agenda at this time. Uh, is there
073any one that needs anything to be separated out at this time? All right. Seeing nothing, then I would entertain a motion at this time. >> Go ahead. >> Thank you. Move to approve um agenda items 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, and 12.5. >> Second. >> All right. I have a motion and a second to approve agenda items 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, and 12.5. Is there any discussion on this motion? All right, seeing none, all those in favor? >> I. >> Those opposed. All right. And that passes. That will take us into our action item portion of the evening. Uh starting with 13.1, school district financial depositories with Dr. Robinson and Mr. Norris. Are you ready to go? >> Yes. So, Sorry about that. >> So, we have several approvals that we're going to be seeking tonight.
074These are annual approvals. So, I will go uh one by one with them just to read through the quick description and then we can I'll ask for approval. I can get you to ask for approval on that. Okay. Um so, the first thing is the financial depositories and where we right here. So we have uh Harris Bank, NA, Milwaukee, Wisconsin um for uh will be used for investment purposes. We also have W Wisconsin Investment Series Cooperative and Mid America Administrative and Retirement Solutions. These are the three um that we uh that we use for financial purposes and we're asking for approval to continue for next next year. >> All right. Uh you want this each one? do it each one. >> Okay. Um, is there any questions on this? It is just a standard piece
075that we do every year and I believe these are How long have we been with this group? The three that we have >> um Beimo a little over a decade and then WHISK is more recent from the referendum bond approvals a couple years and then M America about the same. That's our H account. >> Okay. So, we have an established relationship with them. So, any questions, concerns? All right. Then at this time, I would entertain a motion for 13.1. >> Move to approve 13.1. >> Second. >> All right. I have a motion and a second to approve. >> You're good. Okay. Uh to approve 13.1. Is there any discussion on this motion? Seeing none, all in favor? >> Those opposed? All right, that passes. That'll move us to 13.2. Okay. The next one here is
076to release uh uh purchase orders for next school year. So, as you guys know, the budget, even though we begin spending in 2627 on July 1, isn't formally approved by the board officially until October, even though a prelim budget will be heard by the board in a few months. So, this action allows the school district administration to start obligating funds post July 1 prior to formal approval in October. >> Okay. Any question on that? >> Move to approve 13.2. >> Second. >> All right, we have motion and a second. Any questions on that motion? >> All those in favor? >> Those opposed? That passes as well. 13.3. Last one here is the um delegation of leasing authority to Dr. Robinson. So, we have a number of leases from copers to um property we lease and
077it allows us to enter into those agreements in the good faith of the district. So, look for uh pending questions. Look for approval. Okay. >> Are there any questions? >> I'll entertain a motion. >> Motion to approve 13.3. >> Second. >> Motion and a second to approve 13.3. Any discussion on that? >> All those in favor? I. Those opposed. All right, that passes. 13.4. Dr. Robinson, >> in order to comply with the state statutes, we are required to uh to publish certain things publicly in a uh in a newspaper. And so we've designated the South now as the the newspaper that we will have our official publications in. that includes minutes, that includes also any election results. Anything that's considered official notification going to the uh South Now. So, this uh action that we're asking
078for tonight is to approve the South Now as being the official uh publication where those will happen. >> Any questions on that? This has also been our consistent That's correct. >> Publisher. Yes, >> I do. >> Okay. Yeah, Miss Carr. >> So, are they the only place that we can publish this? Are there other options besides the >> There are there are other options. Okay. The state requires you the statute requires you to choose one, right? >> This is this doesn't say that we're limited to that. This just satisfies that particular requirement of the statute. Well, I just I just think that um in the past the now used to really support West Alice West Milwaukee and they used to do a lot more um of coming into our district and highlighting things and I
079don't see that quite as much as I used to. I I'm wondering if we have a a um a connection, a relationship with them. Um, and so just in the future, I'm I'm happy to pass it for this year, but in the future, um, I think that I might want to find somebody else that does a little bit more for our district. I I just don't think that they they do enough for us. I'm ju I'm just kind of wondering uh with with your inquiry um is it a sign of the times in that industry because a lot of the publications just don't have staff like so I don't know >> what the ultimate answer is. So the south, right? It's so that's Greenfield and >> so I read about >> I'm reading about them,
080>> you know. So I don't know. I'm just throwing it out there. We automatically just blanket. Yep. Let's let's do it. >> I don't and I don't know the direct answer to your question. So I'm just kind of for discussion. I don't know. >> And maybe it's Oh, Mr. Lee, go ahead. >> Yeah. >> So I think one thing this is the least expensive option. and you know you could do the journal something or something like that but the cost to go in there is going to be substantially more expensive than South. Um, but I do think your point is well taken and it might be something that would be great for the communications committee to look into and potentially um, you know, see if we can make inroads in that and introductions. You know,
081Alex um, >> Alex Jones I think is his name for who is the uh, the education reporter for Journal Sentinel. There there is a relationship there um, from uh, I know that they've done some some work with us but again I think the expense there is the issue. So, if the communications committee might be able to look into that, um, that might be something that'll be worthwhile to see if we can get some more exposure in that publication beyond just what we have to statutoily publish. >> Sure. >> Our committee is more than willing to do that. I just want to point out that the south now is the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. >> Oh, >> it's the suburbs. I have it up right here. So, um, yeah, we can definitely look at it, but just
082so you guys are aware that the the south now, there's north now, west now, those are all just extensions of Milwaukee. So, >> yeah. >> Okay. So, like if it's the only game in town, I'm okay >> with it. I mean, we have to publish >> and absolutely, but just like a little more reciprocity. >> Okay. Certainly something that we can have the uh committee once it's starts it back up to take a peek at. Okay. >> Excellent. All right. And so then with that, are there any other questions about the south? Now at this time then I would entertain a motion. >> Move to approve 13.4. >> Second. >> Have a motion and a second. Any questions? >> Seeing none. All those in favor? >> I. >> Those opposed. All right, that passes as
083well. Um, and then we're going to move on to 13.5 uh for seeking a position of season one seat of board seat on board of control. So that's me and Dr. Robinson. I'll let you lead it off. >> Ah, I was hoping you would >> Oh, man. All right. Well, I'm going to lead it off, but what I'm going to do is since we have uh and like to do this, Mr. Lee, you have had experience with the CISA. So, um, what is it for? What are we doing for the public? and and kind of why is it important for us to be on that board of control? >> Yeah. So, the board of control is kind of like a subset of CISA. As a member of CISA, we have the ability to cast a
084vote. So, when you're I was I was CISA member my second year on the board. I think I was the representative. And so, there's like an annual meeting where they go and then you can basically cast your vote for your district within that CISA for the things that CISA are are looking at and and like the rules and things like that. the board of control is kind of above that which kind of comes up with agenda items and and kind of has an additional meeting um which kind of sets what's going what the CISAs are going to kind of focus on for for CISA one and Miss Kaiser did uh when she was CISA rep last year to go for the border of control there was a open position a seat and so she had
085gotten that seat and so there's act it's actually a three-year term technically and so this would we essentially fulfilling the rest of her term firm on the board of control. So, it's obviously a good thing to be uh just like it's a good thing to be on the school board. You get a say in kind of how things are going. We can uh try and ensure that the things that are we see in our district are being put forth as a priority within that CIA one and have our voice a little bit louder, I guess, than um some other districts who are not part of the the board of control. >> So, and I would be interested in in fulfilling the rest of her term if the board was willing to allow me to do
086so. Okay. All right. So, that's some good background. Are there any other questions though or any other thoughts on that role or this vote? >> Okay, then uh at this time I would look for a motion. >> Move to approve 13.5. Second. >> All right, we have a motion and a second to approve 13.5. Uh are there any questions on that motion? Seeing none, all those in favor? I >> I >> those opposed. All right, that passes and to your term seeking after that. So, um then what we'll do is we will move into our 13.6 approval of the 2026 2027 base wage increase. And this Mr. Norris is all you. >> Yep. >> All right. Well, thank you. Uh this is a a different approval. Typically uh when we've had this um conversation previous
087years, this would apply to all employee groups, but this year it specifically does not include our professional educators as that was approved at the end of March from the last compensation model. So this approval this evening is for the following groups and I'll give you a bit of context in a minute kind of the thinking here. So this increase will apply to all the following employee groups. administrative at will, educational assistance, facility staff, hourly lay professionals, secretary subs, and which would include um increasing the base wage beginning salaries, meaning that employees who currently have not started here, this would also increase kind of what we start employees at as well. Trying to incrementally increase those numbers as opposed to getting five, six years down the road and then going, hey, we're $4 behind what everyone
088else is paying. Trying to stay ahead of that. So, I think that's important. Um, and this also includes our um long-term daily sub rates, things like that to try to stay kind of um in the middle or a little bit above to attract and retain people to fill those spots. Um, this does not include um supplemental contracts that would come at a later date with the um extracurricular curricular guide I think in July. So, back to you, President Prince. >> Okay, so any questions on this? Mr. Lee, >> I'd like to pro propose an amendment to this proposal and I would like to remove school board from this amendment and and amend it so that this is everything except for school board. >> Okay. >> We need a second to that amendment to be able
089to hear it. >> So, we have a motion on the floor. >> Second. >> All right. We have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion on that motion? >> Could you speak a little to why you're wanting to do that? >> Yeah. So, you know, this is something that um when we make these approved, it's it's much like Congress. We approve our own payraises. And so I think in the instance with the issues with uh increased property taxes and what we want to use with our money that we get to put it more the most towards educating students as possible that wherever we can make those changes. I thought this year would be a good year to to remove ourselves from this automatic pay increase and we can consider it again next year.
090That's my my rationale. >> Okay. So motion and a second on uh the amendment to this uh item. Any further discussion on it? All those in favor? >> I >> Oh, I don't think that that Hang on.

So now we will have uh approval of or we would need a motion and a second for the approval of the 2026 2027 base wage increase uh with the school board increase uh removed. >> Move to approve 13.6 as amended. >> Second. >> All right, we have a motion and a second. Any questions on that? Okay, seeing none, all those in favor? >> I. >>
091Those opposed? All right, that passes. Okay, then that will take us to the end of our regularly scheduled board meeting. Um, so at this time I will need a motion and a second for the board to convene into executive session pursuant of Wisconsin statute 19.8585 parent one parent F for the purpose of considering a student disciplinary expulsion order if discussed in public would likely to have a substantial effect upon the reputation of the student involved. >> So moved move to executive session.
