069the best of last we were when we first saw our grade we were like points away from an F we were that we were very close we're now a solid C so we are absolutely over the moon at the AL at The altern Accelerated campus our teachers work very hard I would say tirelessly because they do answer text 8 9 10 11 12:00 at night our students we look at their uity logs they're knocking workout at 2:00 in the morning um we're just pleased as can be their production as compared to last year month to month is up um we have we're we're going to be up to eight cuz we're going to get another four done Mark Blaine my student of the month hasn't made the list yet he's still finishing we're going to

070have eight graduates just in December um we already have [Applause] four so we're very proud about that kid Peak was awesome you'll see a couple just a couple pictures in the video they're going to come back out and we're going to use the do it on the field this time because we found that our lighting although it's it's the yellow low uh light lighting that that that that Tucson and we use to keep kit Peak viable still messed it up so we only saw they said about maybe 75 80% of what we could have and we saw really really cool stuff so we're going to do it again we're going to do it every semester kit Peak loves to come down so we're just very very happy um about how this month went and the

071experiences some of our students had Aaron we are ready for that video please [Music] that's [Music] Takens this a little tricky because there's a botom it's now what happens is the H do the same what's the H to this line yeah it's going to move left and the cake up or down [Music] so I just want to add that we would have had more pictures on picture day of some of our other graduates because it was so neat to see them being prepped and pred by everyone that had the opportunity but they said no we don't want to be seen on video that brave man was willing to do so no any questions concerns yes ma'am anything Mella no no Mna just congratulations thank you on moving from DC also um I think it's amazing

072to have K peek at your campus also um I love the graduation photos I wish more of them took photos of that you can tell that your staff truly cares thank they do thank you I'm glad it shows through and this is just a brief synopsis of the numbers as opposed to last year so you can see that there I'm not going to say the a word enrollments a little lower than last year which is very good for us because the numbers are up so that means on average the students are being more productive on a daily basis president Mia yes sir um Mr Fox um are you able to share a little bit about what you've been working on related to attendance absolutely to related towards attendance okay um if you eron if you

073find our attendance it'll be a little easier for me to unfortunately explain okay so with only two three and two in the middle school you can see what one tough seventh grader who has a lot of issues has a lot of excused absences does um to our numbers the same goes with eighth grade sixth grade is to but we're very fortunate our two sixth graders are both mentally physically healthy they come to school very often what we're working on is we have some pretty heavy contracts out there to try to persuade our students to up their attendance um but that contract comes after a lot of the TLC a lot of the affirmation a lot of the positive the warm welcoming environment um the stumble fall down get back up let's do it again um

074but we are working on we have some contracts coming through as soon as the Desert Diamond um comes through with that that uh donations that we earned we're going to put together a PBIS store for um all kinds of all kinds of incentives not just attendance but you have to be in school in order to win those things um student of the month you're not a student of the month you could do 10 10,000 activities and if you do them all at home you're still not student the month you have to have 90% or more attendance so when you saw Mark here or all those students last month they are all it's attendance driven um we are giving very Frank and honest assessments to our oldest of students breaking down time frames explaining 61 A2

075hours and how they're not going to finish by 22 so we don't want them to just waste their time so we have we have there's many many good online schools out there so we're trying to refer some of our hardest cases or the ones that is just not feasible so that they still have an out they still have a positive place to go and they always know they can come back to us I had one of my tocc Jessica poer students come back just today this time was to brag and it was awesome to see her um we're looking at a a modified schedule of six periods instead of seven so that each class is an hour a piece because that will be easier us to account for our attendance numbers because they have to

076be for a full day it's four hours so some of my guys work late at night they don't get to school until 10:30 because you know life doesn't permit and they're not getting four quality hours of instruction in so we're working on that as well which put a little bit of a burden on the teachers because they're going to start their day at 8 instead of 8:30 um but most of it it's just through positive reinforcement a can do attitude and just knowing that um when they come to us and they're already struggling with attendance um they get the contract right off the bat because we want to just impress upon the parents how important it is for them to come to school um anything else that I'm forgetting of that we've discussed um though

077you'll be coming back with a multi-tier system of support with attendance uh yeah yeah yeah absolutely that's it any other questions comments or concerns no not not a concern I think more so just a comment um I feel like again we've we've I've said as far as from the board as a board member standpoint understanding that the accelerated campus is very unique and so it's I'm not saying let Mr Fox off the hook on some of the things that the expectations are but expressly I hope that if there is any opportunity for the board and any way to support whatever it is that we can do and I'm sure I know that we genuinely try to do that reach campus but I feel like I know we've had some conversation about you know what because

078I do understand that the accelerated campus um doesn't fit the mold but it is it is something that I do know we as a board have supported um forever BS before us have supported um so I I just want to say I I understand what you're up against it's not falling upon us to be like well you're not doing what you're supposed to it is the so expressly important that I'm that I'm appreciative that you're including some some more in-depth events that include families or you know just to get them on the same page with you on what we need to do together not the school is responsible for getting your kid to school that's kind of not I think we need to get the community more involved and I know that we're pushing on

079that effort for them to be able to do that so I really appreciate that you're you're kind of branching out and doing more um but again I I just want to continue to express that I'm really thankful for you and your staff and everything that you guys do um that already is above and beyond um so I just wanted to express that and comment that I appreciate that and I and look forward to seeing how you what you think may or may not work and and whatnot and of course working with the superintendent to see those things absolutely much appreciate it thank you sir I appreciate you guys thank you very much oh and I look forward to being at the graduation so I'll be here I'm not going to the conference so I'll be

080and when we and when we that's great we we appreciate that when we planned this uh we didn't know we were going to have up to eight so one side of me is super excited because it's going to be standing room only because it's going to happen right here so I'm I'm pretty I'm pretty excited we weren't going to have a December because it's a it's a lot to put together and there is that expense that sometimes we don't have uh but once Mark we knew was finishing we knew we were doing it because we're not going to make that that man wait he's worked his butt off for 2 and 1/2 years to get to where he is so it just so happened that he set fire to a whole bunch of other kids

081M and we're up to eight and we're just again so excited and it's the 19th right December 19th M okay and we're we're getting we're waiting for the uh invites to come in and then we'll we'll push them out so you'll get them within a week sounds great thank you very much thank you sir thank you're good number five this evening is our bar barbecue re School District governing board member reports anything Miss I do not have anything I do want to apologize I have not been around lately I was thinking about the last time I've been here was probably September maybe July um just starting this job has been kind of busy but then and also having a lot of um family issues as far as like deaths in my family um but I

083as well so I think it's it's important for us to keep informed and I'm grateful that the superintendent does keep us really informed on on a lot of um what's going on and of course we do try to keep our ear to the ground when it comes to anything going on in the community and and share that with the superintendent but I just want to continue as well to express um how thankful I am uh as a member of the community as a parent and as a board member to see what yall do and how y'all make it happen and make it work it's really truly um it's a blessing in I think it needs to be expressed that because without what you all do um our students and our communities would be far way

084worse off and just thankful for each and every one of you um and so I want to express as well that I try to make sure that I'm available and committing and and re um reviewing my schedule to see what I can and cannot be available for but I also work an hour away from sales so it's a little hard to to to do that uh and I work an hour that way as opposed to that way so anyway um nonetheless I'm grateful and thank you um and I'll try to put together a much more um detailed report as we move forward with that we'll move on to number seven which is our barue re of high school district superintendent report Mr Diaz President W members of the board uh members of my staff in

091canopy and intermediate and I can share the list of all the additional projects for your information Mr Diaz oh sorry Miss Miss Anna did you have something um I was just going to ask about your experience Ina I know I asked one we kind of briefly went over it it is uh it is an experience um based on all of the workshops what I appreciated is the amount of workshops that they have available targeting our student population targeting the strategies for student population um there was one in particular that um I'm looking forward the one that is aligned with the goals the one that is aligned with the models of instruction which is the engagement uh continum that is one of the ones that we start in the conversation with the principles um it provides

092a spe from um of um what are the targeted behaviors by leaving the ownership on the students to self-reflect on the behavior and how to improve on the next levels of behavior um another one um I know we had the opportunity to visit anaka in Los Angeles well the the person that created a seven learning the author was there presenting so we had the opportunity to attend the conference as well and and and to to be more in depth um in in some of the areas that they're targeting um there were um many districts represented uh many districts serving student Native American students represented all the way from Alaska Hawaii uh the Northeast and Northern um uh uh the the Northwest but also the southwest and it was beautiful to see uh the representation um

093from all of the different um communities um we also had the opportunity to visit uh the welcome center from the aak Cente tribe um and the work that they have done to be able uh to advocate for them as well as to teach the community so I highly recommend it there's an opportunity uh for to continue participating in that conference um to put it on the agenda but also to visit um and learn from what the aak Caliente and Palm Springs tribe has accomplished it's it's inspiring thank you did I answer your question yes okay Mr Diaz have we gotten any kind of U and if we haven't may I request um information on vacancies and then also the effort that we're making to try recruit retain and get some support for our campuses as

094far as teachers or whatever it is whatever it Mayes Ben needed because I I haven't really asked but I wanted to also expressly talk about some of the well more or less vacancies and absences when it comes to staff and then how campuses are either shifting around or having to do what they need to do to make sure that classes are covered but expressly I wanted to ask what our vacancies are and then what efforts we're making since we're halfway through the school year for next school year and if there's any need to make sure we're addressing now as opposed to later that was all that was all you don't have to answer you can you can let us know I would but you can answer but I I think it'd be good and especially

095for our Retreat that we're going to plan to have some discussion and maybe look at some how are we going to address it um I highly encourage um I try to keep all of the vacancies as part of the weekly highight reports there's a section of vacancies so continue to keep that one um I I will continue to update it as we go through so you can see all of the different vacancies that we have but I'll be more than happy to bring it up um during the next board meeting as part of my uh superintendent report um but it it's that one I try to keep it as updated as possible on the weekly uh superintendent board report for the governing board um but I'll be more than happy to bring it back uh

096as well for the community um um transparency and information um in terms of the also how um the what the second request it was how um are we managing the absences at every school based on the teacher absences oh absolutely thank you sir what page do you put that on if you don't mind me asking on your report cuz there's a lot go was at the beginning let me go back and check my report say because I'm the one who looks at this a lot you do I see it um I do have that information available because I get it that's part of my um thank you and and again if it was there I wouldn't have asked I'm sorry but otherwise I will add it if I was in the that I did um

097all right if that's it for the superintendent report number eight is our barbury High School athletics travel getting Bard members this is just for information uh travel for BHS Athletics for the cross country it looks like and the basketball so just information items number nine is first reading of the barber UniFi School District policy Amendment um does anyone have any comments on this first reading that we want to make sure to address yes this I did bring up some concerns when I was speaking to the superintendent about um the requirements for staff to pay incidental charges um I know sometimes that is not feasible and also it puts um staff um in situations where they don't have the funding to do something like that so I would try to see if we something that we

098could do to assist with that because I don't think it's fair um when that situation happens um I did share with some with him um one of my friends who had on went on travel and got to his place and they charged his his in incidentals and he had no money for the entire time he was there so he was struggling we will look and I will uh seek some guidance also from our CFO um from what I understand is when some of a sta some of the staff members when there have a credit card or ATM um sometimes uh Resorts or hotels they put a hold of an x amount of money um as part of the incidental incidentals uh locking their only funding that they have available uh putting them in the predicament

099correct um okay I like I like I mean I understand that 100,000% I think it it sets a little bit of a discriminatory is if that's what the word we want to say on who gets to go and who doesn't because some people don't have that type of means and if this it's important for us to be able to be equal and fair on across the board then it kind of feels a little bit discriminatory to say don't ask to go anywhere if you can't pay or put down for your incidental charges and I agree again if they are going to charge or do have and we do provide some form of a case by case scenario where okay give some author it to the superintendent to approve such and such I think that that

100might be something to look at um I understand that we want to make sure that we're maintaining a level of financial responsibility but also just as Miss Steven said it doesn't it isn't always feasible for anyone to have either a credit card especially if you're from the nation and you're going to be participating many tribal members don't have credit cards they might have a debit card and there goes probably a hold on majority of what they had to use for travel or whatever they were going to do some of us are well better off and can do that and okay but I think that we need to be very expressly understanding of some of the situations that we're dealing with when it comes to tribal school tribal schools on tribal lands um and I don't

101want to say that we're also picking and choosing who can and can't go which what it sounds like from reading it and I get it like if we do if we do need to make sure that if there are incidental charges when we when we if we do approve such use that they're responsible for that but I don't think we should be saying don't ask to go if you can't do this which is what that says to me let me do some homework and bring and bring it back thank you anything Miss Ella okay um letter if is our vote to convenience session per ars3 I'm sorry AR s 38-4 31.03 813 without objection a motion to approve is there a second second second by Miss anamarie Stevens Mo okay we will convene our executive
