027Midwest Midwestern University and we learned a lot of things and we had a lot of body parts such as the heart lungs cancerous lungs the horse with heart we also got to hold a dog's heart that had worms in it um our main focus is were the veterinarian pathology and dental and surgery skills also stitching for the veterinarian part we got to check out the animals and the different diseases that they can get and for the dental we were able to fill in a tooth that had a cavity and then for surgical skills we were taught how to stay sterilized and not touch anything how to pass somebody when you have your gloves on and for stitching we got to use needles and Stitch up a pads like it was a real person we weren't
028allowed to take many photos so there's not many photos of the body parts in the videos but for our school we would like more CTE classes such as health and medical so we could learn more and it would just be way more helpful to everybody else who doesn't know anything about medicine or their help and then we have a video to share [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Applause] it's been a long journey due to the pandemic this is our seniors first year on campus since covet struck our seniors were in their third quarter of their freshman year when covet struck so it was very hard for them to get through the year but now they're working with teachers and counselors
029and trying to get stuff in on time I can only imagine how hard it was for them to move to move on after the pandemic but they made it through so far when the pandemic struck I was in sixth grade and we had just moved and the connection was very bad so it was very difficult for me to do school too so I can only imagine how hard it was for them to make it all the way through high school just doing stuff on online with no Wi-Fi or having trouble connecting to their teachers but to help our seniors graduate this year we've had we have four ways of making that happen the first is our motivational necklaces which will be shown in the video after our campus signs that we have hosted up all
030around school which are also in the video and reminders for them to check in with their teachers and their counselors to make sure that they graduate on time we also have a senior night to honor our seniors and parents [Music] thank you [Music] ostuko is planning a basketball tournament for our four houses that we've incorporated into our schools um we're still waiting on a couple of emails from others and there's more details to come once we figure everything out [Applause] on March 23rd we are going to be having a school board lunch and we would like to welcome the governing board to come and eat with us it's going to be at 1pm at the high school and see Ben for more details yeah Ben is there any questions from the board comments Ella I

032that you um are doing that and and the videos shows a lot that's happening at the school I really like the idea that you're asking that the CTE programs are more uh focused on I think that things that are needed here in the nation like the veterinarian veterinarian I know we don't have one and the um I'm not sure do we have an awesome dentist an actual dentist I know we have assistance really oh not yet not yet one of you girls will be the first Autumn dentist um but I really like that you're you're moving forward in that area to to see what the possibilities are and the Northwestern University is that my question Midwestern where is that at in Phoenix oh so how many of you guys went to the um I don't
033remember how many of us went but it was freshmen's sophomores and juniors and only one senior King oh that is so cool I like that um you got to do the uh a lot of the what is it like the operations on like the animals or seeing those things and then also with the the stitching that I saw and uh actually doing a filling was that what what you were doing uh yeah it wasn't an actual tube but yeah but it was so cool right I I really like that so thank you for for um sharing that with us [Music] can you think um we're gonna hand each of the governing board members um the motivational necklaces or the pieces um so in the video our Sean was wearing the necklace he's a senior so
034when you see a senior this is the way of motivating them to graduate you when you're you're basically motivating them by getting a string and tying it around their necklace so that by the time that the end of the year comes their necklace will be full of strengths and it's just a way to get them to motivate for a graduation yes and so the person tying his string in the video was his brother bikini so yeah so we're going to want to eat you awesome thank you Miss uh Stevens Washington I just want to say thank you so much for your presentation for putting this together and it is definitely a treat to be able to see anyone step up and no it's not easy but you guys will do really well and just speaking
035and um especially using the language I know it's definitely good to hear and I know that is something that's really a highlight among the other districts when they know it's really been trying to be utilized within the student school system especially ours um I I do want to say just just to kind of uh a lot of the things that I see is the things that we wanted to see for a long time a lot of the things that we're trying to open doors for you as far as school board with advocacy days or you know meet meet in your government I hope that you guys really do come back and share as much as you can with your peers like hey these are the things we're getting to do as part of the student

041part of the cabinet um we're looking for ways on how to be more efficient and at this point I'm gonna ask the support uh for Miss Kinsey which is going to be presenting in the process about evaluation the program and the findings so please miss green zip come forward [Applause] thank you for a second experience with the government all right good evening governing board president buendia governing um here's a video about the evaluation platform this is an overview of our staff evaluation platform selection process one of the main purposes of searching out an evaluation platform was to streamline the process of our evaluations currently we are using Google Docs Google forms and email feedback to provide our evaluations so we are looking to have a uniform system in place to evaluate all staff we are
042also looking for a platform to centralize our data housing we would like to have a digital Archive of Our evaluations So within that we want to be able to house all of our site evaluations for all of our different staff members as well as amalgamating the data collection regardless of who is doing the evaluation lastly we wanted to take a look at district-wide data Trends so we wanted a platform where we could house all of the data and take a look at the trends across data within the district across sites and also we just again want to have that uniform system in place to evaluate all of our staff members together these three things will increase the overall efficiency of evaluating our staff members by Saving Time collecting artifacts and maximizing our devices and systems
043in place to improve our overall evaluation process when we started to look into the different platforms we had nine non-negotiable features that we were looking we wanted to find a platform that had Google single sessions sign on we wanted to find a platform that was able to house two-way communication between the evaluator and the staff member and housing that communication within the platform we wanted a platform that could facilitate year-to-year tracking so we can see the growth of our staff not only within the year but within but across the years we wanted to find a platform that had app and mobile capability to allow for those quick additions to the evaluations over time we wanted a platform that has the ability to collect artifacts through artifact uploading of pictures videos lesson plans and other documents
044we wanted a platform that we could pull school-wide and district-wide reports so we wanted to be able to look at our data through multiple different lenses additionally we wanted to be able to house multiple rubrics to be able to evaluate all of our different staff members within all of their different capabilities on a single platform we were also looking to have a platform where we could have multiple people adding on to a particular staff member's evaluations and that will allow for our principals assisted principals and school Improvement Specialists to add documents and add notes about each specific teach and the last thing that we were looking for is a platform that can house time stamped scripting so as our admin teams are in classrooms and making note of what's Happening we wanted to have time
045stamped and rubric aligned scripting capabilities we took a look at three different platforms the first platform we looked at was education Advanced evaluation this particular platform offered all nine of the non-negotiable features that we were looking for this particular platform also offers a year-to-year contract with no obligation for a long-term commitment year one with this particular platform will cost eight thousand five hundred seventy nine dollars and forty two cents and year two and Beyond will cost us five thousand three hundred and six dollars and the difference in costs between year one and year two for this particular platform is really based on the training and also for year one we would be able to roll this out as soon as it is approved the second platform we took a look at was Frontline education this
046is one that we have had in the past Frontline only offered six of our nine non-negotiable features and unfortunately communication with the system and with the people at Frontline was very inconsistent and was very unclear and as a result no quote was provided about their the third and final platform we investigated was PowerSchool perform PowerSchool perform does offer all nine of those non-negotiable features that we we previously mentioned however the difference between PowerSchool performance education Advanced evaluation is that PowerSchool perform does require a long-term contract so committing to PowerSchool perform requires at least a three-year contract with them the cost of PowerSchool performed for year one is twelve thousand seven hundred and seventy two dollars and seventy cents and year two and Beyond would be 6572.70 and again that difference between the year one and
047year two cost is for training and implementation of the platform the office of the superintendent is recommending approval of the purchasing of Education Advanced evaluation to house our staff evaluations thank you and to provide the clarification this will be funded out of impact Aid as we have funded it in the past questions from the board I have a question on um the software um I saw the decrease from the first year to second year is it gonna continue to decrease or will the increase after on the 30th um the first year is more expensive than the the following year strictly because of the implementation and so that covers the cost of having their people train and Implement and upload our rubrics um so the expectation is that year one will be the most expensive and
048then from year two and Beyond it will it will stay consistent and or grow according to um as our staff grows or um as their platform grows but the expectation is that it will stay yeah and and this particular platform education Advanced evaluation they charge per um per staff member so as our district grows or shrinks that will also impact their overall cost go ahead and get a chance to oh sorry Sylvia and then sorry yeah I just um just in line of what Kathy asked um the implementation and the training that cost is all inclusive yes so the year one isn't paying anything more than what correct that charging yes so the year One cost that I had up in there um so the quote that we have would start March of this year
049and would follow all the way through and it's at 8 500 I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head um but that will cover us from March of 23 all the way through June of 24. so there is a little bit also increased because we want to give um our principles and our admin teams a chance to figure out the platform kind of that clearing the land and figuring out what it is so that when we come in in July we are ready and prepared to support our teachers in the best way possible in our staff members and I guess with our focus on him book that would be something that you would actually be able to evaluate what's true also and that was one of the features of this particular platform
050is that it can house multiple rubric types and so we can work with misadafisio to find out the best way to evaluate and celebrate the moves that are happening with regards okay bye Miss Anna um I just had a question did you guys have a chat to utilize it or play with the system and see how it would work so we did have a so we had multiple different um instances where we were working with their sales rep um and so she presented to me and Mr Diaz and we were like hey this is pretty cool so then we also presented it to the cabinet um and so people within the cabinet were able to ask those questions of the platform as well so we haven't been able to click around because it's hard with
051um the data that exists but I do think she gave us a login um so we could kind of Click around and see what was in there um so I think the answer to that is yes if I remember correctly yeah I was just wondering yeah and so that's kind of why we had wanted to start it now is that our principals have a chance to figure out you know how do I request to upload the rubrics what's the best way to align my rubrics my walk through forms with the three-year plan with their Psy apps that align to CSI and so it's really just making sure that we have time to align everything so that we are the most efficient and effective moving forward what is the goal moving forward to have it roll
052out when you understand as as soon as it gets approved I will submit their survey letting them know that we are moving forward oh just one other thing um so like for uh is this gonna be utilized for like Transportation facilities everybody yes and so this will cover both our certified and our classified staff okay that's it thank you thank you number five is our Barbecue University governing board financial report Miss rabago good evening for president buendia governing board and um superintendent Mr Diaz um I am going to be going over the financials for um February okay we'll do the student clubs we always do first so for February um ending February 28 2023 um for Student Activities and auxiliaries we have um Student Activities account balances have deposits totaling eleven thousand ninety two dollars
