003>> Okay. Um presentation of proposal for the naming process for the new combined Lincoln Irving and Willard campus. Dr. Savage and Dr. >> All right. Well, um thank you and uh we are excited tonight uh Dr. Savage and I to um share our strategy for uh the name and mascot uh selection for the new combined Lincoln Irving and Willard School. You know, in preparing for this presentation, um you know, I've been in the district 27 years, kind of date myself a little bit, and I've never once uh you know, in that 27 years ever had the opportunity to even think about naming a building or it it's ever come up, right? And you think about that our history it it's it's very unique and I think it's important today that uh the presentation we're going
004to share with you is the detail the draft strategy is important because whatever this product comes out of this it's going to stand the test of time. It's going to be here potentially decades uh beyond us. So we got to make sure the strategy is solid. And tonight we're going to present the strategy and you know we welcome questions, we welcome thought about what we're presenting to make sure we get this right. So that's what we're going to do tonight. And um so a lot of it is going to be a lot of uh just looking at what we have up here. The slides are full of language. We're just going to go through it and um feel free to ask questions as we do. So we're excited. So first part of this is uh
005the strategy summary. We're going to have a proposed timeline. Our goal is to go uh start here in September and uh go finalize it uh by December. Um we are going to seek approval of a board resolution tonight um to formally launch the process. As I said like this is really unique opportunity. So we want to make it official and kick it off. Um so that will be up tonight as well. We're going to also establish a stakeholder advisory group which we call the nest committee naming the elementary uh school together. uh very creative acronym there. Um and the goal is to have three committee meetings September, October, November. We'll have two stakeholder surveys. First will be open-ended for uh stakeholder uh nominations. The second will be kind of a multiplechoice type survey to narrow
006things down. And then we're also going to have focus groups, listening sessions for parents, students, and staff to make sure that we're capturing the voice of our community and all stakeholders. So, let's talk about the Nest a little bit. Um, uh, the Nest committee representation, it'll be co-chared by Dr. Savage and myself. Um, again, it's it's an honor to be able to lead this committee. Um, uh, we're really excited about that. And we've got Mr. Mayus, our board of education member on there. And we also are looking at uh having uh student board member on there. Um, >> we're looking at you, Vun, >> looking at you. >> I would do it. So good. >> It's a good it's a potential opportunity for you, especially with Abby graduating. You would be a um choice that
007would make sense. Um I know that you're a busy student. You're an involved student. So certainly would want you to check your schedule and make sure it works out, but this would be um kind of a once in a high school opportunity just like it's kind of a once in a career opportunity to be involved in something like this, but quite a learning opportunity as well if you're interested. So, um, we also think it's important that we've got admin representation from various schools on there and we also are looking at, uh, two teachers from both Lincoln Irving and Willard each. Um, along with that, we want to incorporate our support staff from each school and we want at least at least one to two parents from Lincoln Irving and Willard as well. And then also
008along with Mr. mainus for our community board representation. We want to get a couple more people from the community on there as well. So that would be our nest committee representation. Um which we we feel like again is is kind of our first uh idea taking it out there to get some feedback. Um so the parameters of the naming I think uh we tried to hit everything here we could think of. Name should be reflect educational values, local history, geography, culture, uh or even nature. Be easy to pronounce and spell. Uh be politically neutral and inclusive. Age well, timelessly, not trendy. Um names should not reference individuals currently living. Include political, religious, or controversial references. And they shouldn't duplicate or closely resemble other schools in our region. >> Pretty pretty simple there. So little bit
009into the details of what we're looking at doing over uh the next few months. Um so the week of September 22nd which we are here today um we want to uh really establish um you know present the guidance to all of you the board of education and we want to um ask that uh the resolution that's in front of you tonight on the table that uh you've been able to review um to kind of kick off that process. So that's what we're doing tonight. And then when that is done officially, we want to get a letter out to all of our families, Lincoln, Irving, Willard, to make sure that they understand what's happening, understand the process, the timeline, and then we want to just make sure like again, we've talked about this throughout the process
010that all levels of our uh to ensure all of our different uh parents understand through their different languages what we're doing and how we're doing it and the opportunities that they can become involved in. So, >> and right now at Lincoln Irving, um, whenever we send out parent communication, it does now currently go out in five languages, obviously, English, Spanish, Swahili, Dari, and Poshto. And we utilize um, Jackie Zamora's great resource for us, and we utilize our ITC service to help make sure that those translations are accurate and appropriate. and they have a pretty decent fast turnaround for us. But that really helps to ensure that our families really know what's happening and we're communicating with them in the first language that um helps ensure that they understand fully what's happening. So I think that
011bilingual access is going to be key especially um as we're moving through some critical decisions here. Um a lot is happening in October. The first week of October, we will be meeting with all of Lincoln Irving and Willard staff right here for our very first focus group session. We will uh then get to formally inviting the Nest committee members. And we think it's important for each school to choose their own representatives. Um that could be a top- down decision, really easy, that's quick, that's faster, but it's not probably the right way to go. So, we want to make sure that those schools can have those conversations conversations and choose who they feel might best represent them on those committees. So, we'll be able to have that conversation on October 1st with them when they're right
012here and let them know who the the committee what the committee makeup will look like and then when they get back to their schools, they'll have that opportunity to discuss amongst themselves and decide who will be able to best represent them. They all will have multiple opportunities to give input. So everybody's voice will count more than once, but they will have an opportunity to decide who they would like to elevate to serve on the committee and committee and represent them. The week of October 6, we'd like to host our first committee meeting, our first of three. Um, and we'd like to get to preparing that first survey. That first survey will be open-ended. We're calling that um the stakeholder nomination window. Um, and through that survey, we'll get ready to promote that through all of
013our channels, internal and external, utilizing all of the tools in our tool belt, through email, through, through dojo, through QR codes, through the channels that we have out in our communities, our business partners, and really just blasting that across the district through every channel that we have so that we get as many ideas as possible. We'll send that out to you as board members so that you can pass that out through your contacts and just get as many stakeholder nominations as possible and that survey will be open uh through the end of October. Um so that'll be probably a really exciting interesting time to see what kind of stakeholder nominations we receive during that month. the last two weeks of October, especially during parent teacher conferences, which are October 23rd and 24th. We know that
014it'll be a time where we'll have a lot of parents in both Lincoln, Irving, and Willard. So, we thought that would be a great time to have a large interactive project display inside each of those schools. So the interactive project display would consist of large uh uh diagrams of the the project the the design maps that you've been seeing in the uh leot presentations. A lot of our parents haven't seen those updates. So blow those up to large sizes um so that parents and kids and staff can really get excited about that. We talked about having a large monitor and having the exciting digital walkthrough on a repeated loop. So kids could and families could see that as well as sort of a a final opportunity for an interactive engagement activity. So they could submit
015some final sort of um stakeholder nominations as well at parent teacher conferences. So we thought that would be a fun interactive um opportunity at parent teacher conferences. And then the actual survey itself would close on October 31st. And so then rolling into the first week of November, uh, at the district level, we would use some digital resources to begin going through that stakeholder nominations. I'm sure that will be a very fun and interesting process, but we'll certainly go through um consolidating duplicates and removing any ineligible nominations. That also will be um leading us up to an opportunity to be able to give the board of education an update. here's where we are at in the process and get that cleaned up so that we can present all of those nominations to the nest committee for
016their second meeting. And it's their it'll be their opportunity then to take a look at all of those nominations minus the repeats minus those that are ineligible. Um all the rest of them will be there for them. It'll really be up to them to try to find those 10 or 15. Hopefully kind of around 10 might stand out as those that they feel meet the parameters that you all are comfortable with and really just meet those expectations that have been set forth by um the committee. And ideally then those 10 to 12 uh names that everybody in the committee feels forward would be put together then in that second survey in a multiple choice format and then again reblasted out through all of those same channels and then hopefully uh that survey will be put
017back out for another three weeks or so and then it'll be a neat opportunity to see how the committee feels about those nominations that have been put forth. Um that's what that second survey will be for. Um that survey will close on Friday, November 21st. Again, this is all tentative, just kind of depending that we're getting the types of nominations that we're looking for that are appropriate that meet the parameters. Um and so that gives us that butts us right up to Thanksgiving break. Then the week of November 1st, uh that Nest committee will meet for its third and final time to analy analyze those multiplechoice survey results and then ideally be able to create what we're calling a finalist showcase list of perhaps one standout, maybe two or three standouts that they would be
018comfortable bringing forth to district leadership to prepare for the board of education. Our goal is to wrap this process up by the one board meeting that we have in December, which is on December 8th. We have specifically provided ourselves that buffer so that if we need more time, we have it. We can take it into January and February if we need to. If we need to go back out to the community or extend that process, we have that buffer um if we need it. Ideally, we definitely want the process wrapped up before the project breaks ground, but getting the project completed by December ensures that we have enough opportunity to begin with the marketing, the branding, the the signage, and getting all of that worked into the um the project before um those final decisions
019are made and before ground is broken is ideally, I think, the best uh plan. If we are successful and the board of education is able to make a decision on December 8th, that will be very exciting. Uh the few weeks after that leading up to winter break will be cause for a press release, announcements, excitement, celebration. And then the months after that is just planning and preparing. Um just to sort of um review, we wanted to reiterate this is a very collaborative process really focusing on the stakeholders centered around Lincoln Irving and Willard and wanted to just sort of reiterate the opportunities that they will have. The Lincoln Irving and Willard combined staff focus group event that will happen here kicking off on October 1st. Students at Lincoln, Irving, and Willard will each have a
020lunchtime focus group event at each of their schools. We also will plan an in-person parent and community night at each school. And then, of course, through those two surveys, all of those stakeholders will have an opportunity for their voice to be heard as well. So, we really just tried to make this as comprehensive as possible. So, there will be multiple opportunities for voices to be heard. And ultimately, as we've said multiple times, this process is going to be as important as the product. And if the process isn't right, the product might not be what it needs to be. So, we've given this a lot of thought and wanted to present a comprehensive package to you, but also did not feel comfortable moving forward without leaving an opportunity for your guidance and your suggestions and blessing
021before we sort of put this to final pen and paper and get get boots on the ground and get and get moving forward. >> Okay. Anybody have any questions for him? >> Great. Thank you, Jeff, for serving on the committee. >> Well, of course. Yeah, this is exciting. I'm looking forward to participating in it. Um, this is a far cry from just kind of making it up as as as we go with this important new, you know, landmark that that the district is building in our communities. So, this is thoroughly vetted and looking forward to it. It's going to be exciting. >> Yeah. Thank you for doing that, all the work and putting the proposal in front of us. Definitely in support of it. Um the only question that I have is um for students
022that might not be famili students and families that might not be familiar with other schools in the district. Is there going to be some education about what mascots exist and why those might not be um some that we would gear towards like they might not know Franklin is a falcon? You know, just some education. >> We can do that for the committee. Absolutely. did not think of that. >> Yeah, it's good feedback and I think the point on our presentation about just the regional area too. We got to, you know, be familiar with that as well. So, um, >> it's a great question. So, kind of a chart of what's already in use. Thank you for that. Verun, what do you say? >> I would like to do it. And I do have a question.
023And on the suggested criteria and parameters, it said the name should not include political references. I know in the past that presidents have sometimes inspired past schools. So like I was wondering if the same applies to this or >> Well, we certainly do have schools named after presidents. So I think uh presidents might transcend uh the the political piece, but certainly that would have to come through in our community um voice. It would have to come through the recommendation and that would be something that the committee would have to review and something that our board of education would have to ultimately vet. But that's a really really good question. >> Good question. >> And we do have a lot of a lot of schools across America are named after presidents. So I can see why
024you would ask that question. It'll just be interesting to see if that's a theme or a trend that our community wishes to continue. >> Great question. Maybe just one thing to think about that um you mentioned that communications to the community and families being translated into five languages which is awesome because that's definitely needed. I guess just think about how translation and language capabilities might impact who you have on that committee. I mean you certainly want to be inclusive of you know parents and that sort of thing but just kind of be prepped with the right logistics. If you've got a parent that wants to participate that, you know, English may not be their first language. I'm sure we can figure out how to do that. But those are just some things to maybe think
025about ahead of time. >> Yeah, we need to uh bring a translator in for the meetings. I think we're prepared to do that. >> Okay, perfect. >> That's but that's >> good advice as well. >> Yeah, >> thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> All right, we will move on to number seven. Resolution of intent to establish a community or a committee and process for the name and mask of combined Lincoln Irving and Willing campus. recommend a motion that the board of education approve the resolution of intent to establish committee and process for the name and mascot of the new combined Lincoln Irving and Willard campus. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion hearing? None. Have a roll call, please. >> Jeff Manis, >> I. >> Laura Severson, >> hi. >> Audrey Adamson.
026>> Hi. >> Ramona Dixon. >> Hi. >> Jason Frell. >> Hi. >> Jeff Smith. >> Hi. >> Okay. Uh number eight, approval of the Mullen High School student services and data entry administrative assistant position. It's a 10-month position. I recommend a motion that the board of education approved the new Mullen High School student services and data entry administrative assistant position effective for the remainder of the 2025 2026 school year. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion? I just want to say I think based off the description of this, I appreciate the fact that the district continually just evaluates positions to determine what are uh the things that we need to streamline things to combine resources and um and really look at what helps us operate effectively. So, thank you. >> Anybody else? Hey, can
027I have a roll call, please? >> Jeff Mayus. >> Hi, >> Laura Severson. >> Hi. >> Audrey Adamson. >> Hi. >> Ramona Dixon. >> Hi, >> Jason Ferrell. >> Hi, >> Chad Smith. All right. Okay. Reports, requests, and open discussion. Dr. Savage. >> Hey, I just have a couple of things. First of all, I want to thank our student board of education members for representing our district so well last week. We It was a very busy week with homecoming, but we also had two big um district events. We had um Blackhawk region superintendent here um on Tuesday during the day and Verun and Abby were so kind enough to come over during their their busy day on coronation day and everything. It was all happening at the same time to come over and speak to
028a room of about 40 superintendent. I'm sure it wasn't intimidating at all, but you didn't act like it. um and came over and spoke to them just very eloquently about positives and reasons why they might want to consider having students on their school boards and kind of spoke a little bit about the benefits of engaging with student voice and um opportunities to maybe encourage their boards to might want to consider having students. And I was just blown away by how cool, calm, and collected you were. I don't maybe it was the Hawaiian Lays you had on, but they everyone was genuinely impressed. Um, and I think you kind of took the scariness out of it by making it seem like a very userfriendly thing for them to consider. And I appreciated your willingness to do
029it and um how well you just represented Molen High School and how well you um represented the school board. I was really impressed and grateful. And then also um very grateful again for the school board hosting the um ISB event on Tuesday night and uh Mr. Frell as well representing our district. I thought it was a great event. We had a room full, almost too full, just barely too full. Um but I think that was a really positive event representing our district as well. Um, I know everyone will probably talk about homecoming, but I just wanted to um express my gratitude to the Molen Police Department. I did at Rotary today as well. Um, as well as the city of Molen and the Molen High School administration for all they did keeping our kids safe
030during the parade and all of those um, events. I thought that uh all things considered that everything went really really well and I'm incredibly grateful for our partnership that we have with the Molen Police Department. Um I also wanted to say that um the Molen Public Schools Foundation has announced their new executive director, Stephanie Fielder. She is making her way and um meeting and greeting everyone and it's very exciting to have uh an executive director who is a parent in our district. She um is a wellness director at the YMCA, so she has a lot of local community contacts. She um is an athletic coach, I think, for Wilson Middle School as well. So, to have someone that's already embedded in our learning community, already is a strong supporter of our teachers and our students
031is really exciting. And I know she's um hitting the ground running. And it's it's just been really great to see her getting on boarded. and I'm looking forward to seeing all the ways that she will uh advance the foundation moving forward. I'm very grateful to have her on board. And then one last thing I'll say um again as we continue to see the beautiful renovations at Browning Field uh continue to uh come together especially um with the last game that we had on Friday night and see that to continue to improve as we figure out how to utilize the improvements and the renovations. We just wanted to thank you again as members of the board of education and we wanted you to know that we are working on an opportunity to sort of uh permanently
032recognize you all uh as individual boards uh members and we wanted to um thank you with a permanent recognition for the um 2025 renovations of Browning Field with a um bronze plaque with all of your names um at Browning Field. This is a huge deal. We are incredibly thankful and this could not have happened without your uh willingness to support this project and we wanted you to know that this is something that we are working on and so we might just have to have another ribbon cutting but um you you are well deserving of individual recognition and we want that to be memorialized. So thank you. >> That's all I have. >> Thank you Dr. Savage. Uh Vroom. Yeah, I want to start talking about the homecoming parade and despite the new changes to the
033route, it still proceeded very smoothly. I wanted to show appreciation to student congress. Basically organized the whole thing and adapted really well to the changes, making changes of their own. The juniors won the class float competition, so I kind of want to show appreciation to my own class. We did really well on that. And football also had a really strong win in their homecoming game, 28-7. And soccer did the same thing against Metamora on Friday, who won three, they won three to zero. And a really big thing I want to talk about happening this week is on Thursday we have historians coming around the Quad Cities to kind of show what the Quad Cities has done for the United States throughout the years, especially seeing that the 250th anniversary of the United States is coming
034up soon. So yeah, that's all I have. >> Thank you. Okay, now open discussion. Um, I'd like to start real quick by just again saying thank you to the police department, to the city, uh, to Mullen High School. I think that the new parade route was a tremendous success. I know there were a lot of concerns from the community and I think that, you know, it showed that even if people have concerns, they still want to come out and support our students. You know, the the route was lined with people. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. You know, a lot of concerns I think people had um were were resolved. And I I think that it gives us a good springboard to continue to grow that and, you know, take that new tradition and and make
035it better every year. So So thanks to everybody involved. >> Just to piggyback on that, you know, I think uh there's a lot of talk about tradition and I think we kept up the tradition of putting this community, the school, our students first and making sure that they we had a parade and make sure we had something to celebrate that. It's going to improve and change over time, but that seems to be a strong tradition that we've held on to. U want to make sure that, you know, we do highlight the many nameless volunteers that are making this happen. I mean, there are so many teachers and and staff members and just people in the community that are helping out, setting up, getting people in line and getting water out to people and things like
036that that were just we don't really have the time to list them all, but they're kind of what makes this parade happen every year. And so, you know, I hope that we can find ways to continue to recognize them. So, >> okay, if nobody else has anything else, um going to turn this discussion to community access at Browning Field. Um you know, obviously we've spent a lot of money on new field. The the track surface is almost complete from what I understand. I think they're going to be striping that this week. Um, historically we've had that open and accessible to the community. What we've seen, I think, um, throughout this project has been an unfortunate lack of care for that facility. Uh, even during construction, we had a lot of people that were coming in,
037they were stealing things, frankly. Um, we've seen people as the field was laid that have come out and ridden bikes and hit golf balls and just treated the community investment as though it's not something that they need to care about. Uh, with that, uh, we've been having some discussions, at least myself and doctors have events about what our options are moving forward. You know, do we close the gates to the public forever? do we, you know, what what do we do? Um, and Dr. Savage was kind enough to, you know, type up some of the discussion points that we've had. Um, you look at schools in our area. Rock Island doesn't allow access at their stadium. UT is the same way. Davenport's the same. Bentonorf does, but they're running into a lot of the issues
038that we're seeing. Um, I know that this is something that people have gotten used to for years, but you know, there's just there's a lot of things that we have to consider when we look at the amount of money invested in that site with our inability to really control what happens when it's open. Um, you know, go through here, you know, we look at a decreased lifespan for the track itself. Uh, damage to the field is always possible. We've got video of people. We've got shots of people riding bikes and like I said, hitting golf balls and doing all kinds of things that no matter what sign you've got posted saying the field is not for public access, it seems to be ignored. Uh, one of the things that I I'd like to look at
039potentially is um trying to find set hours when we already have staff on site but we don't have any students utilizing the facility that we can go through and open it up at times where we can keep a closer eye on it. Um, what also do something Dr. haven't suggested was, you know, seeing what our usage really looks like for this first year, getting a good idea of, you know, what our needs are with the facility and then um, you know, looking a little deeper into it. And then we've also, as you can see here, looked at uh painting a regulation size track in the parking lot. We've got a big lot there as far as letting people know what the distance is. It's not walking around a football field, but it'd be the same
040pretty much. Um, and I know Vince was going to talk with the city about potentially paving a track around our middle school fields, and I'm not sure where where we're at with that. >> Yes, we did have a meeting with them um late last week, and they're open to that. Um, obviously, they have that like small little paper that they could utilize. um and just have a collaboration with the city on doing some stuff like that for our community members. So, they're they're definitely open to those conversations. >> So, so I I personally have had people reach out to me about this. Um I've been in conversation with the mayor where city hall has had a lot of people reaching out. Um, you know, this is something that, like I said, I don't think we're
041prepared to make a decision right now, but I'd love to hear everybody's feedback and what your thoughts are, um, regarding just kind of what we've got in front of us here and how how you all feel about it. >> I mean, I do think taking time to evaluate, especially through the school year, but um, just to see truly what the uses makes a lot of sense. I would also say we may need to extend that through next summer because usage in a school year is going to be much different. >> We might even have heavier student usage over the summer if you think about all the different camps that we do through the high school and youth programs and all of that sort of thing. So, we may want like a full roll, you know,
042a 12-month view of usage before we make any decisions. But, I think that's the right thing to do. Um, I think it's it's a great thought of how do we give public some sort of access, you know, we're while protecting our investment in our students. But I agree, we'll I think we'll need some time to figure out what that best option is. So, I appreciate that thought that went into it. >> I think if we do have any limited access, uh there's some So, I go to Chicago a lot for work, so I work with a lot of schools in in Chicago. Um I just kind of started asking some people there because there's some really nice fields. Um they you some schools utilize live document to sign up to use the facility. So, if
043there's, let's say we have four hours on a Saturday, they actually require that someone will put down a name and a contact and all of that, if they're even if they're going to go run the track, um, and one thing I've gotten from that is it helps them if there is some damage or if a group of kids go play football or something, at least gives some sense of, hey, we have someone to contact, we have someone to follow up with, things like that. that's not going to eliminate all the problems of just general public coming on to it, but I do think it allows some conversation back and forth of what are you using this for? How can we help? Things like that. So, >> and I agree. I think looking at those creative
044alternatives like to extend the life of that investment and then still provide some spaces is is you know likely going to be our our best bet if we you know because working on having staffing or doing something during even limited public access requires other investments and resources that we have to determine if we have the ability to do and and is it a consistent time you pick one time that not everyone's happy with the the one time that something is available in that and I think also the messaging of of the fact that Yes, this was um funded through, you know, taxpayer dollars, the taxpayer dollars that went to this the school district and for the school and the school to operate a space that is for the students and for the use that that
045we're using it for um and and not like a city park or something like that. So, how how was that funded and why was it funded and and really promote kind of the excitement that we have this great facility to be used by the school district and by the students and extending the life of that is probably the most important thing and keeping the rest of our community safe. Um, you know, and those that's always a concern of mine too. If we have something open then then where do we stand in terms of that liability? >> Yeah. And I think it's important to note also that, you know, we will still allow for facility usage by request on Sunday. We just had um a walk that's been going on there for years. So, so it's
046not to say that we'll never open it for things like that. It's just, you know, I' I'd ask that if the public asks you anything about it, you know, let them know. you know, we're we're trying to look for the the best possible solution um across the board for everybody, but it's going to take some time just knowing how we're going to utilize the facility ourselves before we determine what the other utilization will be. So, um I appreciate you guys, you know, having the conversation, reading through the things. Uh it's it's a change uh probably a necessary change that won't sit well with everybody, but at the at the same time, you know, we've got to make sure that we're protecting ourselves and our investment um in the community and protecting the students as well.
047So uh if nobody has anything else on that or for open discussion um we will move to close session to consider the appointment employment compensation discipline performance or dismissal of specific employees. Uh can I have a motion to move into close session? So move. All in favor? the agenda. I get a motion to return to open session. So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> Okay.
