001and I took two Mone in last night my we are live just got more seconds to we all then I will call the meeting to order at 7:30 [Laughter] perfect and justice for all Mr Davis here Mrs Reed here Mrs hel here all here Mrs R here Mr Golden here m j here Mr Jones here M here um we're going to do approval minutes real fast then we'll jump into Mr Lee's presentation can I have a motion in a second to approve the active meeting minutes from our June 27th 2024 all those in favor oppos or obstain obain Perfect all right Mr Lee you are up okay so quick presentation won't be long um the each year um we are responsible I am responsible to report out our ssds results right this is all of

002our discipline um data and also our uh hi data hi num so these are things typically that you see throughout the course of the school year but we're also required by the state to report it out to you um at the end of the year as well so first I'll do JFK and just real quick overview so you'll see some of the terms that are listed here on the screen and so basically this report only has to do with all incidents of violence vandalism weapons substance abuse and Hib incidents that occur in school um the other thing to keep in mind when we're looking at the numbers is each student involved in a single incident is listed separately so let's say there's a fight three students are involved that it shows up as three for

003that fight so it's not three separate instance but it's three students who were suspended for fighting so all right so for this school year at JF K we had eight students who were in the system as fighting okay um were classified as having a fight good thing for us none of these other categories were were checked off throughout the course of the year um however I will say one of the things that I'm working on with Mrs brigh um at Eisenhower and then I'll also work with the new principal on at JFK is just making sure we're coding everything properly like when I go into the system in in in student information system I should be able to see all the information very clearly I feel like particularly um in the elementary school it's it's

004not always listed that way um so I want to I want to make sure I work with the principles and making sure that that happens um there's also another subsection here for weapons so we have possession uh sale distribution a weapon use um and there are all the examples of weapons there and then also substance abuse possession sale um suspect suspected subance abuse um so again good thing for us at the elementary school none of these categories were were checked off right would like to keep that up as long as we can um so they're all zeroed out at JFK then we come down to hi and I think you're all pretty familiar with Hib and we have alleged hibs and then confirmed hibs so at JFK we had one that was just allege and

005not found to actually be confirmed and then two that were confirmed for a total of three the course of the school year there's one other category here other incidents leading to removal and that is a student who is suspended for any other reason in our in our code of conduct so it's not necessarily one of these more severe offenses but just a student who's suspended from school so there were four incidents of that at the middle school same this is all the same information so I'll Skip by that um there were seven students who were categorized as being in a fight over the course of the school year and again remember that could could if two students were fighting each other that accounts for two of those things right away so I'd have to say

006that that number is is um you know we want it to be zero but it's pretty good for Middle School um in my experience none of the other categories have anything in them so that's a positive for the next one same thing uh had another a good year at Eisenhower um in school no weapon possession no weapon sale distribution weapon use um and substance all of our substance use categories are zero out as well for the year and then for hibs we had five alleged hibs at the at the middle school but zero were actually confirmed to be a violation of the law and then there were five incidents of students being uh suspended for any other reason in the code of conduct and that's it any questions nope no okay thank you all right

007so many right yeah okay um so uh first first part of my section has District goals I just wanted to mention that our district goals are quite a bit old so I'm meeting with some of the members of the administrative team actually next week to start to revise our goals and come up with new District goals so that we can set goals for the schools and so that the um teachers can then set their goals off of the school goals um we have our our three board goals there again this is something that we need to get updated so we'll be having conversations about that we also have strategic planning that's coming up in September so that really should guide a lot of this goal setting for us all right we're going to open the

008meeting to the public even though we don't really have it but um motion as second to open the meeting to the public for discussion of agenda items only motion second all those in favor oppos or obain all right hearing none let's close the meeting public can I have a motion a second Mo second all those in favor I I proposed to abstain we have a motion second to approve super itemsa through isg and then Mr Lee can take over motion second thank you okay uh first we have Safety and Security we had our drills for the month at JFK because that's where our students are in session over the summer no drills at dve over the summertime item C you have monthly reports that were uploaded for your review to view your leisure item d
