002the metro area and Beyond thank you all now we please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with li and justice for all all right thank you all I don't have any Emily get one to you all right first item is mission statement and strategic Priority One uh the winter Community School District will Empower a community of lifelong Learners who strive for personal Excellence through meaningful relationships and real world authentic learning experiences and strategic priority number one increase student opportunities that integrate real world focus and application based learning to ensure all students are college career and life ready and as I always say that real real world words together is really
003hard for somebody with an RW speech embedment G to fix that one of these days next up is conflict of interest declaration now is the time to declare a con personal conflict if you have one please declare it if not we we will move on to approval of the agenda any other updates or changes needed okay I would entertain a motion to approve the agenda as presented I'll make that motion motion by Tim is there a second second second by Gina all those in favor say I I oppose same sign motion carries next up is greet or visitors and Communications from the public anybody from the public wish to speak now is the time if not no wants going twice we'll move on to information only facilities and maintenance master plan yeah good evening so
004we have Matt Walford and Mark here to give you an update on the work they've done so far uh with theil master plan and John is on Zoom right there as well so I'll turn it over to EV thank you Justin uh good to be back good to see everybody wanted to give you an update this evening on the last two three months of of planning work that's been going on there'll be more of these coming but that a good time to do a checkin with you so we'll Dive Right In easier for me to run it Justin how do you want to do yeah why we just kind of scroll right through just a reminder on introductions so um I'm at Wolford with Bray John man with the bray team is on screen as
005well and Mark Panther is here this evening for the IAT Estus team we've been leading a team of Engineers working with your District leadership team um on a bi-weekly basis um meeting with different aspects of of your team and really putting the pl together so we'll jump in Timeline this should look familiar I believe you've seen this at one of our previous meetings but it's always good to kind of refresh our memory check back in we're on track we're right where we were planning to be in terms of having the assessment complete we're now developing options and Concepts which you'll see this evening and then the IAD team is beginning to build budgets for all of the needs that we've identified and we'll be building those for the solutions as well so again right on
006track uh with that so one of the major components of the project was a full facility condition assessment so we have created that document and you can keep it's great um we will be sharing this it's in draft form still it's I think five six 700 Pages last time I I looked at it so there's a lot there read at all Tim FR back gonna need a couple days what we're what that is really important that we're going to be meeting with leadership team to go through that document to make sure the needs we've identified align with the needs they're experiencing and seeing and so Ray is going to help us just make Alliance uh with what his teams are seeing in the field uh and dealing with the buildings every day but the most
007important part as you scroll through the next page is we're also going to turn 700 pages into simple one-page summaries on a building by building basis so you as board members community members that are curious to know what's going on with our facilities but aren't going to commit to 700 pages of effort you're going to get a great snapshot what is our facility Heth on a good Fair poor scale for all different as aspects Plumbing HVAC electrical roofs Windows Doors flooring ceilings Ada a variety of things so you'll be able to get that snapshot but those in the community that are in the field or are Engineers or interested in all that detail we're not hiding it's all there full reports are available for them so really can consume this information however is most appropriate
008for you as a community member or a board member you're kind of seeing a snapshot of some of those kind of those colored dials will give you a good sense of where the facilities are at we keep rolling we'll also have graphic plans like this that you see on the screen showing you specifically what areas within a building where are where is flooring good Fair T where do we have exterior masonry needs maybe with a photo calling it out so again trying to make this an interactive document not just a lengthy written report that nobody would ever engage with so sharing that this with you that you know it's done it's not ready for Prime Time quite yet because we have to do that one more betting through the district team to make sure it
009aligns but we're very close and once that's ready it's something that we'll share with with Justin he can surely share it and we likely will want to get it up on the website at some point for people to have access to again really just trying to give you a flavor here we can keep scrolling through these uh the IAD team is then preparing budgets for those so when there's an item called out that's in poor condition or fair condition they're beginning to generate a budget of what it would take to remedy those needs that effort will be an ongoing effort because sometimes an aspect of a project we're proposing will actually address one of the needs that's in the facility condition assessment as well so there is some overlap there and that's intentional then here's
010a great example of what you're going to see on a building by building basis to give you a sense of of what's happening at each each building and we'll simplify this into a presentation too that if you're going out on the road and want to share this with staff or something like that you'll have kind of Cliff Notes PowerPoint or presentation version to share as well same see that there's lots of green on there I hope that's a good sign it's our condition y y the other part we did so kind of pivoting from facility condition assessment was we engaged staff uh in a survey and I'm not going to I just want to focus on this page I guess if that's okay sorry the one you on my apologies right there so we asked
011them four questions specifically around facility improvements that they would feel uh would be needed what would positively impact classroom learning spaces what would positively impact the educational experience uh for students um and then what limitations if any in program in do the are are the facilities causing them in terms of delivering education so in your handout you have the responses summarized I'm not going to read them I don't know that and Justin jump in I don't think anything jumped out as we talked through this none of was really surprising or nothing we hadn't heard probably before or two yeah so and you'll see some things like you a mold Mill do deep cleaning was a note on question one that's like a point in time when the survey was out when something was happening in
012school it's been a trust it's dealt with so we still put them in to be true to the process but in reality it's just it's kind of an example of something that happened at that point and and we see it in the survey results zero John go ahead a real positive note is out of about 200 uh requests that went out you got 144 responses so very good participation from staff I think the principales did a good job pushing it I was really helpful to have them supporting the process as well so again nothing big here but wanted to make sure you understand the community understand staff as part of the process their voice was heard here we're going to be going back to them and we've already had staff listening sessions which we'll touch
013on for some of the key user groups coming up again not trying to rush through this but it's simple reading nothing really jumped out hbac temperature control is on everyone we've ever done for 25 years we're B on that that's all right so then if we move to master planning this was also another big piece we talked about in our previous presentation is developing a long range vision for facilities in terms of what our needs are so we're going to develop that Vision the lens of facility condition assessment educational needs but also just basic needs so one of the things we're looking at focused on the high school mainly right now is are there options to separate our pluss and pair and drop off pickup sequence which is is congesting front of school so we're
014currently considering two different scenarios one of which would be the one you're seeing on screen right now where we would improve the gravel drive back to the grassy area back by softball baseball outside the wrestling room and weight room and build a parking lot to support the outter athletic fields the wrestling program that sounds like people use that grass as a quasa parking lot anyway um even though it isn't so considering improving that area and the roadway Drive connection from gravel to something that can be plowed to maintained and then we would bring the buses back there which would completely free up the front lot uh for parent drop off and we could then reconfigure kind of our three little dead end parking lots uh that are feeding into that Loop so that's one option
015the other option we're exploring is do we reconfigure the current I'll call it the the auditorium competition gym parking lot between the stadium uh and the cafeteria entrance do we clean that up and allow buses to come through that Loop so those are two options we're exploring I don't think we're set on one yet but we're always going to explore multiple options and allow you as a leadership team at en Bo to make Deion that's one piece of Master planning you will also see the note there regarding synthetic tur if any high school we go to that doesn't have synthetic turp it becomes part of a master plan does it always rise to the top as a highest priority no um but I don't think we're truly Master planning a site if if we don't
016at least consider that as part of the old plan the next part we are exploring is how do we improve some of the challenges your current Auditorium offers I think many of you know as you enter into that facility you're walking into the side of a row of chairs and there's no queuing space and you got AC cross 28 people to get to your seat and um it only loads from one side so in the middle of a show you're Crossing all those people to go use the restroom so this option would basically keep the auditorium where it is we would add a new Lobby on the right side so towards the parking lot um we would basically have a Lobby that would be supporting just the auditorium we'd have some bathrooms and toilet room
017facil in there and add a few more seats in this case we would keep the seats facing the direction they are towards the stage the stage would remain where it is we would put new curtains lighting rigging sound system in the space so it would really look and feel like a new space we have to rebuild the seating the house itself as we call it because we'd have slope seating in the front and we' have tiered seating in the back to get to about 650 seats and we'd have four aisles and four entry points not one so you probably wouldn't cross more than six or seven people to get to an aisle and you'd have multiple points of connection so that ability to get in and out of the space intermissions loading the facility unloading
018is going to be far improved and then the other consideration is because this is a prominent entrance to the school for students with all a student parking there um we're talking about moving uh the ab office to that location which would then allow that to be a second secure entry point for students that are are coming during the day so any reason we can help prevent kids from propping doors from texting a friend to holding a door open all that stuff that kids do because their kids and they will always take the easiest route into the building uh we can really clean up the security on that side um while providing a functional location the perfect location for an ad office when it come or activities office when it comes to managing the gyms and
019the outdoor facilities they're just in a great spot for that as well and then the backup house behind the stage we're considering currently the the alad the Success Center and bridges all right those two programs are currently housed uh behind the stage in some classrooms there we don't have any dressing rooms changing rooms green rooms prop storage rooms etc etc so we're exploring remodeling those to become that uh and then we would have one small addition on the corner in in the red for a stage craft set construction area and the only reason that's new construction versus renovation is we want that to be as tall as the state page so they can build scenes and roll them right onto it and we don't have the ability to do that the existing space so we
020can always come back but if you have questions please jump in as we're going so the next logical question is where is uh Success Center and bridges going to go um what we're considering for that is where the current family consumer science bases are so down by Band in chire adjacent to the weight room so the areas in light green on the lower right hand side of the screen would be the current family consumer science remodel for Success centers and bridges C family consumer science LS the CTE in a minute here and then we're exploring uh a girl's wrestling room so that is a two mat wrestling room in red it would have a new Corridor connection so how would people when they drop if we do the Bus Loop in the back for example
021where would they go that would now become the student entrance and exit for bus if we go that route through that new Corridor it's also a great connection for youth wrestling and other events that are happening in that section of the school of we have parking there we now have a distinct entry point for them that we can secure um we're adding some doors back by the bathroom so when wrestling's open they don't have access to the whole school but they would still have access to a bathroom so working through some of those aspects of the plan as well but that's basically unused Green Space I believe right now okay I'm correct so not losing anything from a site function perspective we're also considering proposing putting some some larger doors toiling doors or overhead doors
022or something between the two wrestling spaces that you can have two distinct different gendered wrestling spaces or if you're doing youth wrestling and you want it all open you can simply press the buttons open the doors and now have a nice big room to use for a larger wrestling event and then the final plan is uh the overall plan I think we had next really the other part we have not worked out every detail yet is we're going to be working with Ray to try to figure out how we can have three gyms open available access to bathrooms but not have access to the whole school or or much of the school that was my next thing if we could work on compartmentalizing and shutting down because I was in there over the weekend and
023there's people everywhere so just the Simplicity of not having to rean spaces to supervise spaces to you can even think about Heating and Cooling doesn't have to function as often lights aren't on there just a lot of reasons from a safety perspective but then there's a ton of efficiency you gain as well so but there's also a ton of complexity with lots of little corridors and exit doors and things that we have to work through code so that plan is in process and we'll find a solution for that as well and then the final plan on screen is what are where does scaming Consumer Sciences go so the plan on screen is already wrong because we got a staff input so it's going to be right next time we see it um So the plan
024you see has in the upper right hand corner uh video for a graphics lab in the upper right hand corner as we talk to Art and explore this further realistically art would prefer to be and it's better in that corner two walls of natural light better access to Natural Light um so we're going to likely be basically moving art into the addition in the upper right hand corner video production and Graphics lab which are currently happening those two programs are happening in that little green rectangle right now they're just squeezed into two little spaces they're doing the best they can so they would basically take over much of if not all of the Art current art classroom which is across the hall from it and then we would add a new family and consumer science
025lab so now our CTE programs are all together in one area of the school FCS is a nice bace where it is but it's a complete outlier in terms of its organization and flow within the overall building and that location is great for our bridges and Success Center programs in terms of it's connected to the building but a little isolated has its own connection point and door if we put the parking there some of those students are coming and going for the day so there's a lot of logic to that location of potentially working well for Success Center and bridges so that was the overview wanted to just give you an update on on where we've been by no means even though they're drawn on a computer they look awfully final they're not even close
026um we have met with the Performing Arts User Group family consum science uh Graphics art um and then success entering Bridges today as well so we're going to continue to do those staff engagement sessions directly with departments that are affected and their voice has been very helpful uh in understanding their needs and and getting the solution right so just anything you want to add no I think just if there's great concerns now would be the time to to weigh in as we move a little further down um we've had lots of conversations with Matt and John about the bus and that configuration and um um just where those students would empty into so we're tring to work through that that would be um there are some issues with moving them up by the um JY
027stadium tour that's just a narrow parking lot you have after you lose parking there to make the buses make the swing and how you keep as much we want cars out of there um so they're working through that they've been really receptive our feedback um come back with good ideas uh yeah I'm really liking these options already I mean these are good areas covered I think and really take into account the things I think we're looking for moving in my opinion moving forward so I wasn't here before but when the last bond issue but I think this addresses the areas that were y like CTE Auditorium girls wrestling is a new challenge that we but I think address is what we weren't able to do the last time around time cmy I think it also
028ties in some of the things we we were able to do we kind of put them where we could build them like FCS we needed it so we built it with no thought of tying it back in you know but now it's kind of moving things back to where they they shuffle them back to where they need to be with like systems was we were able to kind of we built it because we had the money and the space was right there so it got built I didn't was I didn't join their meetings this afternoon because again I kind of just quarantined myself up um any discussion on FCS about having a serving space or that that was yeah we did talk a little bit about that and I don't C if you want to
029kind of chime in on thoughts from FCS yeah yeah know she like a window idea be able to access public um to do that we talked about maybe one one section of more industrial cooking section oh so having a commercial kitchen set not the whole thing but one piece that you can do a little more advanced work with students having that access where the coffee shop they Goods that type of thing can be sold out of there's a window it's accessible to the outside I know we haven't really talked timelines or anything but with the auditorium piece I know one of the concerns was the lighting is that it would be all at one time or is that something we really need to address before we go with the whole renovation process so we did
030uh we did lighting this year to get it to where they thought they could hold the show we did not address it all Tim but we did add lighting back this year and the discussion at time R wrong was that those pictures could be used in a new space if they would fit um but they're planning on correct I'm wrong but it would be a gutting of that place in all new liting all new sound um really upgrading all that so but we think we spent 25 to ra SP this year about 25 I 25,000 for lighting just to get it up to where they could have a show this year um and once they get to the phasing which is way down of the project um yeah it would be there would be at
031least probably a year where the I'm guessing have would be available yeah y we actually just talked a little bit about that this afternoon and maybe coming up with a strategy where at least fall musical Could Happen even if we're building the the lobby outside no space behind they could still use it to at least let seniors have their last fall Musical and then take it right after that and have it done for the start of the next school year so we've been kicking those just as of literally this afternoon a question with the high school wrestling and alternative F floor plan and we talked about me a student entrance who would monitor that because I'm thinking this is going to then basically be like what we already have now but just moving it to
032the back of so two things all you'd move is the bus traffic back there so you'd move Junior High and high school bus traffic back there because you'd still have all your student drivers are going to come off the front but we have talked about there would be need for supervision to get them to the commons right when the bus is dropped off and that's one thing that they're working through with some of the corridor off can we do that but that is that is a concern that be shared as well because right now you know Cam and his team just kind of monitor the cols and kids get there that's where they go and they they wait there that would create another it's kind of a nice straight shot it is really I mean
033it lends itself to straight shot take a right you're going into the cafeteria take a left you're going School the first Junior High yeah so you can peel Junior High kids out with our buses getting there roughly 740 right you're you're you're right there around when we would have kind of head down hallways anyway breakfast opens at 7:45 on the dot so it doesn't they wouldn't be just hanging out in theway around somewhere they're that's those the something we brought up yeah and then once the school they start those do to be locked so that way point the starts other than stff maying back they would in but yeah that's not there is the benefit I think another benefit of putting the wrestling room back there the double space is when we're running a mega
034KN we've got pen rod and we've got comp going and then you throw in a team that wants to practice in the junior high yeah and then you throw in junior high wrestling it's just it's a free-for-all this way all the wrestling could be directed to the back the hallway is wider map I remember correctly correct was there some chairs poten or whatever but stay there and drop them off and and and pick them up in the back and it also adds inadvertently it does add some parking for football as well right my question is I love the bus um the plan on the bus traffic traffic area are you addressing that with all the other buildings also since I'm a grandparent sorry and I've been dropping off a lot this year all we haven't
035gone there yet but it is part of the overall plan we started with kind of our big I'll say the biggest rock being the high school with the most scope but we will be going building by building it's a great reminder I love this dealing with the city and closing streets or oneway streets or whatever during school my hero you get this fix you're going to be a lot of our heroes it won't be better it won't be fixed improvements are better one other thing too just real quick we call it the girls wrestling room I know Nick has kind of talked about having the SE ceilings a little bit taller that allows the space for our cheerleaders there also allows the space for our dance team to instead of cafeteria gym or a cafeteria
036or something like that it's kind of a closed space so when mats AR down that's used with the different height and we talk about getting their own Heating and Cooling yes for those two spaces control the temperature separate would be a little different one thing I did ask in we' had couple patr Jun high are Jun High um wers uh and not they're not that old but there's no going up have we replac those since they were installed or those the original original the original from the 90s think John last week when I was in we jumped on when I was in uh New Orleans but I had somebody come to me about it then my parents came and yeah it would be Ray actually priced it out um to retrofit the ones we had
037and then to replace them it'll be someplace in this master plan to add those I think that's a good thing to look at all of those comp I mean anything that we need to with that well we got early a lot of it was compliance that's probably our biggest need is is addressing some of those and that's really just the changing the changes in ad requirements when your buildings were built they were other than sections that were built before ad existed but ever since then they're built to current standards but current standards are always they change yeah so that's what we're pointing out thank you to everyone that has taken time and met with all of these folks and given input that is a lot of time commitment so thank you thank you thank you
038Mt John great to work with very retive uh receptive to feedback and so made a good decision great to see thank you sir thank you thank you we'll see you thanks John all right Justin I think we're up to strategic plan monitoring and it looks like Carrie and chance car and chance we going to talk about the alternative education at the high school so I will pull it up and presentation hello hi I'm Carri Davis and I'm the Success Center coordinator and I've been sick for about seven days and keep losing my voice so he'll be doing most of the time tonight doing a good job and this is Jane Zack he is the Alternative Program Coordinator so we're just going to give you a little information and kind of you know let you know
039what you didn't already know so so when we talk about alternative education there's a lot of terms that get thrown out here at risk we hear alternative school we hear alternative program at risk program all that the State actually does have this delineated out into definition so we can go to the next slide so this is I was told this was very text heavy so I'm GNA summarize I needed to have her help me so an alternative program is a program that operates within the school not separate of so in Winter said Bridges is an alternative program okay because we're part of the regular school students get a identified they may come in for various reasons some of them may take take part of their day in my room some of them may take a
040class a regular class Inside by you know uh we have a lot of flexibility and our alternative school is a part so it's a separate facility Well it could actually be housed within the school but it has basically a separate registar or separate administrators that handle enrollment okay so you'll have to bear with us uh old habits die hard because you'll probably hear both of us say alternative school from time to time when that's not technically correct um you can go to the next one J so at risk this is what we talk about a lot at risk at risk is not a program at risk is what we call students or groups of students so a student might be at risk of homelessness or at risk of not graduating uh things like that um
041so they have potential challenges that they may face and the what we want to keep in mind is almost all kids can be considered at risk at some point um we tend to sometimes we get this idea in our head that these are certain kids and uh but things you know we had a tornado a couple years ago that dish housee people so that puts those students at risk um they have challenges that they're dealing with that is going to make school difficult for them so that's where all this stuff uh comes in um so both of us deal with at risk with students who are at risk both of us are part of the alternative education program there is some overlap with what we do uh luckily Carrie and I have known each other
042for a long time we went to high school together so we uh there was no Auditorium right no you're the cafetorium the C stage we've been there a while yeah those bathrooms in the cafeteria weren't there that was the stage yeah so we actually we actually work pretty well together most of the time okay so just want to give you some ideas of different reasons that kids would qualify um for at risk and kind of how that lays we to what we do in the program um each day so one in five adolescence experience a mental health condition those can be permanent sometimes kids get help that's obviously fluid it isn't a permanent situation it just may be something that happens no current student living um or we have no current students in bridges right
043now living in a traditional nuclear family which just creates some complications for them and some shortages in some areas some families it does not in these students that we're working with it happens to um create a little bit of dysfunction so that they cannot function fully at the Gen ad level so about one in um 30 Youth and at 13 to 17 will experience homelessness in a year we do see a lot of that year to year um we're kind of the gauge for what's going on in the school a lot of times we notice patterns of things coming in you know probably in the late 90s there was a lot of girls that were pregnant we hardly ever see that anymore we saw a lot of kids uh homelessness was a pretty big topic
044and and a lot of reasons that we were helping kids out probably in the last 10 years um recently in a single parent home including death of a parent we've had a lot of single parents a lot of kids with parents that have passed away pretty soon so that would kind of give it you know lapse for the family in need of a little extra help um suicidal ideation a little piece of that that we have kids that maybe need some extra time and a uh a little bit more flexible program so they can meet with counselors or maybe they need to be gone for a couple weeks um hospital care things like that and they come back in and it might be just a little bit easier to work with us oneon-one and do
045an online class or some other classes so that we can keep them going during that during that time when they're receiving treatment um and then we have a handful of parents or uh students with parents that are incarcerated so we will lay way to some of those issues so those are things that can be in addition to many others oh excuse me so we kind of cover cover this a little bit but as we talked about t targeting students or or not targeting students what students we look at when coming into Bridges or the Success Center um some of the things that might C well those are some causes of things that might that might lead them to us but um because of some of these these things going on we have high Aces scores
046and I don't know if you guys how familiar you guys with ases scores but um you know if you've got you know a four or above it puts puts you at Great risk for for um not being successful in in high school and lot lots of different health issues and it also um one of the biggest things with portrait of graduate that we look at is the amount of times that they will go through jobs or maybe not be able to hold down a job so it's really important that we double down on some of those um skills that they'll need After High School to make sure they can maintain a job another thing that we have a lot is is we tend to get kids moving schools so I actually this year I've gotten
047a fair number of kids coming out of moving in from out of District partway through the school year and they don't have a complete transcript uh or they come in midterm and we can't it's hard to put a kid in a new in a class it's halfway through and earn the full credit uh so they they could just come to me for a semester or a term and get caught up so we've got a number of reasons why kids might be credit deficient where we're looking at getting them back on track so I'll let you do this you're the mtss specialist part of the mtss process just so you guys know um we really look at a lot of data to decide when these kids need an intervention we obviously go with the least restrictive
048environment so many kids that struggle with this have a great amount of resiliency and can stay in the general environment we don't just say because of this you might need some help we have to see some evidence of that so ntss looks at their attendance is that struggling we look at grades are they significantly behind in credits or are they always struggling to get by in classes and maybe earn the credit and the knowledge that they would need to be successful going forward um and then also behaviors we know that if there's uh sometimes there's not will because of a lack of skill the both those things go hand inand so following that mtss process um we look at those data points all the way along and try to keep the kids in the gened
049school as long or in the gened process as long as they can and working as independently as possible possible I'm probably the first step um we do some online classes um credit recovery and then I also work with teachers to make sure that if a kid is behind in classes we can get them caught back up and maybe recover some of that learning and credit um if they've been out for any reason so I'm the Success Center and I would be that kids may come to me for just one class throughout all of high school um some of them I see frequently when I start to see them more frequently and I see that they're able to do things online and maybe in the case of a student that's homeless just for example they need
050to be working more frequently they want to be more independent and have a job that's where're looking at um a more flexible schedule and making sure that they can take some online classes they've been successful there then maybe chance can help Phil chance and his team can help fill in some of those gaps and maybe we want to look at for their Junior and Senior year um looking at the alternative school program so some of those other needs can be met yeah we pretty much already covered that you can Skip and this is similar this is again kind of continuation of what we just said um as Carrie mentioned each step student has what we call a a personalized uh education plan it's not anything formal like an IEP but every student comes in has
051different needs so like she said there might be some kids that we're working on Career skills with there might be some kids that it's uh specifically academics some it it might be uh finding help finding a job uh for some it might be they just need somebody to connect to it's social emotional and they don't have and this is going to show up again on the next slide I think but they don't have an adult in in school that they can connect with that they feel safe with so that's something that we can provide as well and that flexible time helps us with Job searches if they obviously living in a rural community they need to have a license that they haven't got their permit yet if they haven't figured out how to do any
052of those types of things um that makes more flexible time for us to add in some of those life skills that maybe their parents may be either absent not there or unable to provide so so when um so whether the kid is in Success Center or Bridges if they're doing uh Credit Recovery uh they we use the Edgenuity online uh program for our um for our some of our course recovery um classes now a lot of people they we don't don't necessarily understand what that is and it's just like well it's just the base you know um minimum all that uh so when those courses come in there's the standards are are provided by a genuity company and they're already set to the state standards Carrie and I go in and then we build a
053class from that so we take that that course that's already meeting the state standards and then we meet with our content teachers our science math social States wherever they are and we we um modify those so that it meets the same uh um same topics essential units essential standards that they're doing inside so that we're covering the same thing it's it's the same it's the same material they're just getting it in a different format um so we spend a lot of time on that uh revising classes we every year we we um revise renew them and make sure that they're update and I we still got a few that are still a little behind that we need to do but it's a very important part of the process the kids are not getting different educate
054they well they're not getting different material just getting it in a different way so some of the questions that we get frequently and we get this from teachers sometimes in the community why is this student graduating earlier if they were behind so looking at that there is the option to prescript out of some of those I had a student um I I won't say his name but his dad's a bank president he was able to prescript out of a financial lit class because he needed to take college classes and didn't have room in his schedule for it obviously he had a lot of background knowledge in that area so we use it for it's not just used for at risk kids but we do have times where um we don't always have a student sitting
055in a class when they already know the information so the prescriptive test at the beginning that's about you know 50 questions long could help some of those kids that maybe need to get to work or um need have financial needs or they're moving again something's going on that we maybe need to um you know slow up or speed speed up or slow down the process um to maybe meet other more dire needs like keeping a job and and those types of things the other great thing about having a prescriptive is if you've got a student that's whether they come in out a district um and they're they're in class is incomplete or whether they've been in the CL in our district and been in a class where maybe they didn't finish the class for some
056reason or maybe they failed it they the prescriptive allows them to go through and test out of the standards that they already know instead of having to repeat the entire class over again the stuff they passed they know that get that can get taken out and they're only getting the material that they failed from the prior classroom experience so it's very helpful in that way y you some great numbers um talk about how many and we're not going to go through every piece of this but this is just a general idea of how many kids we serve um Success Center I about 120 students so far but for totally uh and that's just through third term so we know that there's a lot of reasons they would come in maybe they didn't fit in the
057schedule um you know behind on classes needed to recover some credits uh moved we talked about all these reasons so we have quite a few kids and classes especially by the time they're a Junior and senior um that may need to um use that process for so we're very thankful we have it and then on the left this under the students on the left that's all bridges students so this that data was all from last year because we're in the process so I didn't want to bring in incomplete data so what this last year we served a total of 32 students in the bridges program 17 seniors 10 Juniors five sophomores so two of them ended up moving out of the district so they didn't finish with us we had three students drop out uh
058and then we had 17 of our students graduated with four of them being Juniors um now it wasn't just they were done and it's like bye-bye they were um um if you look on the right under career Focus those kids had jobs lined up most of them that they went directly into upon graduation uh we had uh two a couple enter the military early we had uh one student that took over her family's cleaning business and is running that now out of De Mo and De Moine got a semi driver um I we've got um I had a couple other examples and now I lost them but anyway it's these kids they're not just getting done to be done and just you know goofing off they're they're they' got things lined up you know and
059and they they know most of them what their career path is going to be they've got some kind of idea I don't know I'm 52 and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up so okay and yes there's some examples of of uh all the things our kids have done and I've traveled or i' um during our PD days we've gone to some other districts and talked to them about their atrisk programs and I'm very happy when I go to get ideas from them they usually hear what we've got going on and say wow we should probably come see you guys so very happy that uh for the most part you know I know there's other other districts out that are out there that are pretty successful at that process
060but um yeah I feel very thankful that we have the kids in support we do and yeah done a great job so thanks you the three students that dropped out did we make a connection with I don't know what grade what grade they were in did we make a connection with them to try and get them back in for yes St there you go that's exactly what I wanted she means that you you stop the other way I stop where they were and say I'm just happen to here but I just wanted to know we miss you and we make sure to definitely keep up those connections we're a pretty perfect sized town to make sure that we don't lose kids um that's probably that you know those kids were enduring Co honestly we very
061seldom see too many of them drop out with this process um and there were some special circumstances with those three um that they really had something else going on that and honestly those three I I would tell you are working strangely enough they I know I hate to ever say that finishing High School wasn't for everybody but I the one I look at right now I say I guess this isn't your time right now and I I'm proud of her so she's working a full-time job they they really just to piggyback on that I mean they they really make a decision we we've taken in other case I'm thinking of is that like Thanksgiving of junior year with six credits from the neighboring District we were able to get her to 40 week you guys
062were able to get her to 40 um so that she gets that diploma and graduated you're talking about like that much some of the kids are dropping out is like five or six credits can you just finish stalking phone calls you know I'll just tell you my Horror Story Natalie's the only other one that remembers this but I had one girl uh eight years ago and she's half a credit away still to this day and I can't I just can't even I'm like half a credit and I did everything we could to kind of pull her back in there but that one was hard to hard to deal with I was like you could do it no well and to uh piggyback on that actually one of the kids that we're talking about not graduating
063last year was actually her sister so there there is uh unfortunately a familial component to this um one of the girls that dropped out another girl that dropped out last year actually came back this year to try and finish but but there were some things that went on in in her personal life that that she felt that she just couldn't do it right now so I had one come back three times and graduated the last time she's I I got invited to her wedding I'm still do the kids in your programs have access to the high school teachers for academic they have to because neither one of us can do math work the darn and they're very mad about that they like to do math they say things like why don't you know everything and
064I'm like well I can't know all subjects to that degree I love them but I am not good at trigonometry or Algebra 2 so you will have to go talk to that con and and our teachers are great when they when we have uh kids come in we really push them to say will you please stop down and see this kid we had a kid come back after five years and I just told Mr Bradley the other day come down and say hi to him he misses you and so making sure that they still make those connections and know that just because you're in an alternative program doesn't mean that that's like the mark that it would have been on you had it been a whole other school and a whole process I think it
065makes it a more fluid system and some kids will come in we actually had one kid that came in um tried to work through it and said this isn't working for me and went back into the regular classroom so it's not like it's this you know sentence of that's how you're going to graduate you can still go back in and figure out what you're going to do um and yeah we're very thankful that you can kind of see those look at the data and see when that's possible and send them back in if if things are all systems are going and they want to go get 52 credits we send them that way great thank you guys very much building level reports are in the packet yeah Ted all those Julie's not here moving it
066to tonight head conferences I think Josh was gonna make it but I think I speak he was unclear if he'd be here or not but I gave them all your updates any questions to them on the updates are presenting keep up the good work guys all of you like there's great things going on right now and it's we all understand up here and we know you understand it's challenging time of year we're getting through that winter time frame until the nice Sunshine comes out but thank you all for all that you do all right consent agenda minutes we have minutes from the regular session on February 10th and then minutes from the budget workshop on the 18th anybody see any uh changes needed on those I did not see anything paid bills and invoice I
067don't know who to kick it to Cammy or Jill I'm like I'm just so used to go to cmy take it away we both looked at them there's just uh we have a couple new vendors this time that you might not have recognized I looked up the profit Corporation I thought what is that used to be go for sports I don't okay I don't know why they changed their name um we really didn't have anything that stood out the big expense in save that 4,250 to waldinger is replacement of the High School rooftop units that was on the 5year facility plan uh any questions for me where's Clayton Ridge Community School Clayton Ridge has the online program that's Northeast I looked at that and I thought why are we paying tuition to they're one of
068the approved online online providers and cam CL are the two online Storm Lake there was a one out to Storm Lake but that is a Family new to Winterset with a special need Student that is in placement residential placement in Storm Lake so that's why we have a tuition cost for Storm Lake we still pay the educational portion of that any other questions on P bills okay I believe Cammy you are oh no Justin Personnel report yeah so uh the coach is on here um I'm sure you're where Jason darling and what's going on so um um we've added another coach with numbers to help out and split a contract between those three okay they typically are volunteers but they're going to be picking up more this year so I talked to Nick and that's
069why they're on there for a third of the contract the reason are different is it's based on where they would be in a step their own step which would be different does that make sense so they're all different steps so that's uh on the contracts um yeah that's why any questions for me any questions on those okay open enroll we have a note there we have one let me give you a little bit of background on this this would have been good cause for a family move except there was a break so this student lived in martinsdale attended martinsdale they moved over the summer now they have moved back to the area but they're in our resident district and this special ed student would like to open enroll back to martinsdale St Mary's that superintendent
070says they can serve this student they know this student but it would be an immediate open enrollment she would enroll then on Monday you're good with I'm recommending you approve it okay any questions on that financial report financial report do you want to look at the uh statement of yeah let's look at the the statement of position there's nothing really that stands out probably in the general fund you know they've got a big receivable sitting there 101 that is all due to the heart therapeutic program we build the other leas and they have yet I mean those payments are coming in so that's what that 101,000 represents um you'll notice that in the general fund we actually picked up some fund balance I mean we're down to just 30,000 we're closer to a quarter of
071a million we're expecting that fund balance to be chewed through a little bit this year it's just not happening at the end of February you want to look at any questions for me on that there's nothing really that popped out at me uh revenues and expenditures we were back in line we jumped a little bit ahead in expenditures and then we fell back in line then we jumped ahead in expenditures and now we're back in line so we're about 3% over expenditures in a three-year average but we're over what half a percent in the revenues so we're right on track thank you for the new little red piece there on that one as well thatting a deficit spend on because is that new or has that always been at the bottom I had noticed that
072before shame on me well well you're new I'm new I am new at this any other questions on the financials if not first up contracts and agreements we have the farm lease this is just a a repeat no change change the dates change the dates and move on any questions on that one okay uh swick Automotive same thing just another carpentry has added carpentry is at okay yeah car new the automotive is something we've done in the past so it's based on student uh interest and then we have to contract with swi for the servic provide we provide the number of students that we're Contracting for so yeah that's this time every year and we have about how many students that we will have three and one three and auto onep three one carpent cool
073and we can have as I mean if 20 kids wanted to go hypthetically yeah I think they use the number to determine their Staffing to they got too big maybe but okay we haven't got to that point yet Gina too many they go they they go down they go to the the Iowa lgrp participation this is that uh governmental risk pool this allows us to pay a lumps on for the gas out of management and then whether the prices go up or down we're locked into that amount and the beauty is we're paying it out of management instead of general fund and no verb change from previous it's just the same new dates new dates well they tell you what PR but no other changes in the information okay and then the bray Master planning
074we working with them for three months and we found a get contract so that's what I just wonder I'm like okay they've been working for three months it was a back and forth with them and and our attorney allers and Conor feels like we obviously want more they but he feels confident in the contract so it's just to pay them for the work they're doing okay any questions on that one okay if no questions on those I would entertain a motion to accept the consent agenda as presented make that motion motion by Gina is there second second by Emily any other discussion all those in favor say I I oppose same sign motion carries old business there is none uh new business Justin we will start off with the WEA nego contract negotiation initial offer

079it they're going to really hit it with some new products the tasty ones they it very and our hope is that if we have kids participating because it's free maybe participation numbers then will stay up during the last month of the year so free practice comeing your way when you say large balance what's that we have a large fund balance right um how large it's on your financial it would be nutrition has a fund balance currently at 228 of a million5 yeah million five there is and it's difficult to spend that down you know if you had your own food service you could um buy you could increase the quality of your ingredients um you could um um offer things on the side with a food management company we're tied in they only get reimbursed
080for a reimbursable meal that they served so there's nothing um we have all the interest and then the bigger your fund balance gets which today's interest the more interest income we get so that compounds we have upgraded equipment in all of our buildings our serving line Y we're now two sided at the ele at the middle school the elementary what about our unpaid balances we can't use for that there's a lotm is offering this is the proposal it means she has looked at every realiz could do that all options have been looked at no I'm just saying we've look I mean because I know we have upgraded the lines at the elementary they're awesome at I mean they're it's they're working great and we've been trying to spend that down so so you just looking
081for us to approve this with the stip that it'll be yes for the two no more than two weeks so are you saying it'll be just two weeks random two weeks I'm waiting for Chartwells to come back with their proposal of when to do it because they're the on are we gonna have a say in going to our building principles and our building staff to say that is not a good week for us because of this or this is that's a really good week are we going to have some say it or is it just they're thinking the week after break if they can get that going or the week after that we've only got how many weeks after abely so I don't think it's going to be well it could align with any of
082the testing that we have coming up too breakfast is important for kidos before first the second I was just thinking if that could corate I'm looking at Cory and principles are like thinking this is going to be a nightmare or for elementary kid I worry about when it ends right because they're going to keep going and then yeah that's the only question I would have will this be communicated to yes chart are going to get it out on all their sites we'll put it on our website she's really good at communicating things out and there will be pictures and there will be they're going to promote it so that might help with the yeah their participation in breakfast is not great okay so they're trying to to increase so and the more breakfast they serve
083the more money they make so I mean it's a win-win our kids go to class with food in their stomachs and that's I was thinking during our testing time those the weeks we're doing the testing honestly we could there's a way that they can do the grabbing gr go breakfast so the kids can grab on the way okay more at the high school at the high school level they're more likely to grab one and go through the serving line sit table and they've got some duts now that have been approved it's granted it's a whole whe donut but delicious there no way that's a donut it's a muffin it's a muffin in a donut costume sorry we fallen off the rails jelly so could we could we have action that this is approved by the

092a lot of volunteers and a pretty good turnout we had 49 moms and 58 boys um in general the student council made a good profit um excluding a few decoration and cany Don Nations um we also hosted like Raffles for the boys which included um signed Sports balls like footballs that's some the athlete sign a lot of the boys really liked it um we also had the Earl exchange today where we had 20 student council members go to Lam and they had a leadership training with some of their members because L has a really good student council um we also host we also expect to host some the week of March 31st um and then we also just started our teacher appreciation work which should continue for the next couple weeks that's basically it question
093a few what is the number in student council do you know that number off the top of your head what is your sorry I didn't I've been meaning to ask like multiple months in a row and I keep for it's a lot I that's I just wanted to mean it's it's a it's kind of changing a lot because we have this grade system so like some people aren't going on to the next term I'm going to say it's more it's definitely more than 80 it's awesome because it's hovered around 100 yeah in the last few years there's there's typically about approximately 100 maybe even a little more than that you yeah okay Mr MOS uh if you didn't get a chance I just want to say the junior high project that we went and watched
094was really good the kids really any the more you can get kids in front of people and learning to address audiences and stuff was very helpful and I thought they did a really nice job I will Echo that I went on Monday afternoon and again Tuesday night and the kids were excited to present in front of adults and parents and the community really was supportive of that I had a event this morning at the Museum and talked to a group of retirees and explained to them that conferences looked a little different this year than and they were like some of them are retired really retired Educators they're like what do you mean and I had to I didn't want to say really old retired I know what you mean so I really explained not either
095of these two and they were like well that's inter they just the concept of a conference not going to sit down with a teacher and hear grades and you know it was really interesting um I was going to say kudos to Julie the fourth grade is doing mock interviews um Friday I got asked participate in that so that's interesting to see even at the middle school level starting to do some of those course skill development pieces it's really exciting so um kudos to them and I was in Doug's building uh Lots as well a couple weeks ago doing some hearing screening I can tell you a lot of the kids can hear even if you don't think they can at the elementary Doug a lot of them pass their hearing screening with flying colors so
096um and that is a shout out to another great service provided by the AA for our district so again I'll go right along with the junior high that was a really that was really fun and it makes me think I need to get more into the buildings and bring more people with me and Doug the message that was out from the district on the joke of the the third grader doing attendance and the joke of the day brought a smile to my face because I could hear you chuckling right along with it was a still picture oh no I know what that sounds like so thank you for brightening my day with that second Jared I also wanted to say thank you for everyone that has been there for the cor family it's easy and
097then the third thing um my son is very excited for the college visit in six grade so that's amazing that we're offering that so keep it up I know Julie's not here Julie keep it up Justin yeah so uh ASA Comm was good um really takeaways is as you guys are alluding to we have a really a lot of good things in the FR story um I think we need to tell it not out there horn but the districts we think be probably just to reward our staff for all the hard work they're doing um so kind of I put into present for our district to have a chance to present at the promising practices next fall um so we have to turn in a proposal by August I'll work with our team to do
098that um I think we have a lot of things Ai and Oho task force like y we've had one for two years right and Magic School yep we we've got magic school um authentic learning and um just the profile of graduate and the work that we're doing so that was my takeway a lot of good things going um and then AI just continuing to stay up with that that is Ever Changing um and something we just cannot uh stop learning about and I'll let share a little bit back I'll share one of the things I learned a minute in a minute negotiations we've kind of stalled a little bit with our certified staff we'll talk to you a little bit later but TSS and not SSA not KN that if you're a district that doesn't
099have increasing enrollment right that TSS number for us is going to be important um and how that's figured out so uh that's kind of that is I gave you the isus revenue again it's good with this time of year budgeting where what does it pay for where does it come from what can be use for the Tim point the nutrition fund that you know it's it comes with strings what can pep be used for so again you've probably seen it before you may have some questions just a good refresher and reminder um so yeah notebook LM that is awesome I've used it several times so I put our entire board LM into so it will only search what you upload so it doesn't go out to the Internet so it's like a closed box so
100whatever you put in is the only place that's going to go to look so I took 900 pages of our board book put it in there I can search it but this is way more intuitive and it'll site board policies um that it pulled from when you click on it too and flip side you can ENG it'll do a podcast a two host podcast that'll talk you to the and then you can ask it a question the podcast back super cool um just one Avenue like I put our whole board book in just to to pull from it uh I'm thinking about putting all my resources in for my dissertation pull that too I did historic documents at the Museum I needed some information pulled like four different it's a Google tool and then another
101one was Gemini that just searches your um like your Google everything in Google so we open up the Min team we'll start looking how to use that but just again a tool I like this to because again it's only pulling from what you put into it so um yeah so pretty cool too this year uh and then you know um you LW of Malcolm uh a good board remember our commun really showed up last night um and kudos to our staff you know Sheena shared the care that they're showing the kids and the family and making sure that they're okay and just yes it's hard we got a lot of hard in my opinion here you know over last few years last couple months some tragedies but our staff keeps showing up and doing really
102really great for kids so just Kudos that I appreciate Shea sharing that didn't have to with everything going on but um I saw talk to Julie last week and it talks about the kids and how they're supportting um so yeah just I think it's it's tough for everybody um my evaluation um typically we started that in March but I shared out with you guys the new law that it can't be done in close session unless it's IR reparable harm um I'm okay doing it in close section an open section I hope that if there's a problem you let me know before the evaluation um or you know there's a that was a topic of a recent meeting I was at um you can submit all your information I can meet with Jared and Gina and
103go through it and then we give a full report to the board after that it's just how you want to proceed but probably need to pick it up in April I'll get my I'll get to work on my piece to get shared out with you guys to provide feedback that sounds okay and the last thing I did make in here but I think I included on the OM dissolution process um I reached out to mam about what that process looks like for us as far as boundaries um we'll need a new legal description for the for the district um you know Cam's expressed interest in getting a map that actually reflects our district so we got some time but I just don't know how long that takes either legal process on that takes so uh
104if I get back from her here I'll share but um that will go to effect the 26 27 school year yeah so next year's budget time have the new that be on our assess valuation that new that addition I would guess I would agree with that so that's all I got any questions for me I had a question I think it was over the um ISF pager you sent last week oh on the on the tax yes the the tax reform yes so I read that uh when I was on you that I don't fully understand it the whole roll back off 400 million and here's the part I understand is I think uh residential property taxpayers are going to pay more ran through Jill so you're dropping you're going to pay 100% of your
105assess valuation you're not going to pay on 540 you're going to pay it on 296 is that right Jo more tax 279 think but there's a homestead code I don't know that all figures in so I know they got dropped late that was Margaret Larry's kind of initial blush at it they do a webinar every Thursday afternoon I I will jump on that okay I'm sure they'll dive into a little more and probably even over there he'll probably have some scenarios of what that could look like on it's just it's a weird shouldn't say weird it's just an odd how the numbers like well you're paying on 47% at 540 now you're paying 100% at 296 how's that not more yeah on a residential topic I don't understand fully the roll back and how that
106plays into it but um I think commercial will see a bigger Break um couple bills that and since you brought up there that I think pay attention the additional Dropout prevention is something we've advocated for at 0 25 uh per year if you vote on it if that passes we'll want to take it to our uh and get a vote on it it would take four years for us to go from four to five um but again that would offset our cost for some rat risk programming SRO uh and I think we could do it in a way that wouldn't impact the overall Levy rate and five is the max for that correct it's cap yeah so that bill is one we want to continue to push for Advocate moving forward um but yeah the
107property tax it was late I read that I shared it with you that's from my mind went I'm up on a better example Thursday I know if you had any other i crystal ball or anything anything from that all right upcoming meetings we have our budget hearing a or first one on March 31st I was told that that would be in this Wednesday's Edition okay so that would be 19 days before okay and that's where they will have their slip and everything they'll have gotten that already suppos to be mail on the 15 okay yeah right correct and that means at five starts at five y there's a sample J that came out from Miss I think we ran the same one last year basically you open you open it up y Jared can provide
108kind of opening statement overview and then you solic it Y and it's already published so we didn't miss it so it's already published perfect um 5 o' for that one and then regular board session on April 14th which is then also we'll do our Hearing in there as well correct hearing B hearing B okay and adopt the certified budget perfect 430 want to start with 430 the candid that yes yep thank you thank you so yeah we need to get a 4:30 meeting on there as well Cammy with candidates that'll work for yeah will that work yeah so that way it'll be the candidate piece at at 4:30 and then 5 o'clock we'll have regular board session part of that board session will be oath of office of new back and run s be R
