001okay um beautiful we're behind place right now [Music] but there's no climate change but the trucks thank you please let's change it around this weather 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 liberty and justice for all yeah broke all these Mrs let's see her here Mr mcgibbon Mrs Allen here Mr roster thank you and first action item is to approve our agenda reading the emotions I moved to approve the July 6 2023 governing board special agenda reading agenda it's actually waiting yes to approve um our board meeting agenda for today Allen yeah Mr ostrich all right next uh Ruth is the approval of the minutes from our July 16th okay I moved to approve the July

003can never say that you never get paid there's your payday and you're all worth a hundred grand there you go so thank you very much we really appreciate you so again um good evening everyone and thank you Marcel family members for being here with us today because it's nice to have an audience so we appreciate it I'm looking at again our mission and mission statements um mission statement Continental School District will provide a community environment in which all individuals are challenged to achieve excellence in academics character and life skills and our vision statement building for the future learning cooperating and so we do have all these posters up in the classrooms in the pods and teachers are reviewing our mission and vision with our students reminders along the way and our theme for the year

004like we mentioned before is world domination back to school out to a great start there's some of the pictures you can see smile and the world smiles with you we had the parking lot full of parents waiting to come in we were not opening the gates until 7 30 and they were lined up by 7 10 which happened to us on a meeting group because we weren't going to start till 5 15 and we had lines of people out here at 4 45 4 30. so a lot of eager happy parents and students I love the amazing back to school shirts that the kids were wearing that one so they came over back to school and we're saying game on back to school first day of school they are preschool kids there on the right

005and always love to see kids who played on our physical outdoor musical playgrounds so just a lot of excitement on not even just the first day but the first week of school and now it know it's we still have happy kids and happy teachers enrollment update there for you you can see our numbers in the classrooms and they're they look really nice barely know when we talk about that we really do pride ourselves in trying to keep lower class sizes we still meet that standard we have a lot of my colleagues have classes that have 32 and 28 kids in them so our total is 631 and we ended last school year at 600 30. so we had 41 new students 90 total open enrollment students so there's 16 new open enrollment kids and 15

006staff kids that are on open enrollment of the 90 or those are additional of the 90. okay yes no no yes of the 19th and then withdrawn students we had 42 students who withdrew and you can see there the breakdown 17 other students went to Sahuarita and and some of those kids were kids who were probably their boundaries eight students out of state six are being homeschooled and the surrounding areas we have so many TUSD London Rio Regal wedding basis and when it is um overall staff students so we have 47 total staff students at our school which again I I always look at that number and I'm prideful that you know teachers know we have a good school they trust our systems and procedures and hence they want our students at the at our

007school so we have 47 staff students 32 of the students are in boundary so their staff members who live in our boundary area whose kids and then again there's 15 that are that are Staffing update all vacancies filled with the exception of two bus drivers that we kind of went through as a two is it three three so we're not two sure two and a half okay and thank you of HR and our leadership team for moving so quickly on interviews and reference checks because if you recall at our last board meeting we still had two playground monitor vacancies and Aftercare and their full amounts bus terms yes so we have and you have some drivers in the hopper that you're visual patient update we are finally thank you Mindy Mrs Suarez we are refining

008our process for the destruction of special education records um after four years of the last known enrollment at Continental Continental records can be destroyed so we're going to be working with notifying parents via newsletter Facebook websites and direct letters to let parents know that if they do want to spend records they can contact us and look at them and again um thank you to Christus school for overthinking the process and there's the message that will be posted on our website and on Facebook for parents budget and finance update so Thursday August 10th was our day destruction came to a close option included three buses two beds and a horse floor scrubber um there you can see the starting bids for the buses was a thousand dollars so our res and then you have the for

009the man and the scrubber so bus 99 went for 5 500. bus three went for 6100 plus 96 went for 8 900 and the fans went for two thousand each the force the four scrub scrubber whip for um 504 so the total that was made in the auction was 25 000 yes success so my only leeriness is that you can see one bidder purchase two of the buses and they'll be heading to Honduras so they were supposed to make a payment on Monday so since Mr Schubert is out I don't know that that actual payment was made so hoping that it wasn't a scam but I have no idea at home how big that who bids or not but we're going to think positive yes we're going to be positive so um and Mr Schubert

010wanted you to make sure to thank the Public Surplus for their marketing camp which gave us true International audience so hopefully that will work you can do that in the future school facilities board project updates new flow is is on site um right now as we speak they're outside with the collapse pipe that occurred in the middle school and while we may have been able to make the repair sooner if we did not use the school facilities board by waiting for them to approve it and release the funds at same just 20 months dollars by not just using our regular MMO and of course they did Capital dollars is always a bonus pumps for the domestic water and irrigation system should be installed sometime this week is that what they're doing outside they're outside working

025a precious thing never waste it and the time is ticking for this 23 24 school year we have a lot to accomplish and we're excited to do it we're looking forward to it so there's nothing to me um thank you thank you that's awesome so true so while you're there we'll move on to our special special recognition of course so since this is the first month normally when we do the Golden Horseshoe award this is like our Continental employees of the month um we were the employees that were here in the month of June and July and as we go into August September and so on our staff also has [Music] um participates in giving feedback as to who they would nominate for the schoolton Horseshoe award we had our site leadership and District leadership

026meeting and we have two people that we wanted to present one of us is Jesus who is our custodian and he wasn't able to make it tonight but he was very humbled and honored that he was even nominated and we're hoping to either present to him his award at our next board meeting if he's able to make it but we will present it at the staff meeting next Wednesday the next Golden Horseshoe award we would like to present is to our new science teacher Marcel Fox [Music] normally we give a little speech so we're gonna say why we nominated Marcel um so what you're talking about the word um Marcel came to us for a job interview for an elementary teacher and we've coerced him into teaching middle school science that is not what his

027expectation was and if that wasn't bad enough that I went around and showed him his room and he realized that he had quite a bit of cleaning to do from predecessors years and years ago um and so he came in on his own time at how many hours do you think you love around 60. those are his hours not his family's hours that were also with him and so they came in day after day just about all summer long um since he was given a contract and he came in and cleaned that room and then we're like okay this guy he's he's done he's gonna go away and then then the uh then that the request to Greg has spent money started coming flowing and although he wasn't a science teacher I don't know how

028but he discovered all the laws that need to be met to be a science classroom and in a matter of about three weeks with regulations with state and federal guidelines um got the proper eye washing equipment the proper stickers on the door for having chemicals the appropriate log look all of that stuff he immediately took on that responsibility keep in mind he went to school to become an elementary teacher so they don't have Hazard stickers on that Saturday and then if that wasn't enough then we're a new teacher orientation and I get a text in the evening after one of the days of a long day of presentation and and we gave it to homework and the homework is look at the staff handbook and of course we all know no one reads the staff

029member and and he said if you have a minute give me a call so I give him a call and he starts asking me a question about what he thinks is in the staff handbook but it's actually governing board policy and so Dan and you're like what where's that in the handbook and so we go look at our handbook and see that there's a reference to so we read the entire handbook and then went and read all your board policies and I had questions on that and so this is just an employee that we're so lucky that we were able to get on our team his dedication to his students into the school this we've never really done it this early in the year and it's because of Marcel and his dedication that we felt

030that we needed to um and not only that I don't think anybody in the history of the Continental Golden Horseshoe award has been a brand new teacher in the first month so I just like to to recognize you that your hard work your dedication your passion for doing your best day in and day out is not been unnoticed and it's our honor to select you as a little before July [Applause] [Music] and saying hey what's your best class you know what do you like what's going well and hands down in science so both of our science teachers but Mr Fox and kids are so excited and I said that's exactly what we want we need good male role models we need teachers who are excited who can get our kids excited about content and so

031we really do appreciate you and not to mention all the clubs and stuff that he's sponsoring because he's starting Channel 39 is going to be our video channel and today we signed off on equipment that's needed for the video club for um so we're just super super excited and and he's teaching Spanish so as our elective as well what else oh science fair coordinator with our other science teacher and we really do try not to like burn out our new teachers right in the first week she's having fun so we'll remember to check in on you like at the end of first quarter to make sure you still have that smile but as we are they wanna I like to thank you too because when he did come into interview and we said you know

032I have do you have any questions that's one of the last questions and you think I don't think I have any I looked at Steve and Steve looked at me and Mrs Wade was in there she's a third grade teacher and we looked at each other and I said I have a question for you you know would you be interested I I see you as a science teacher and I'm not saying that because we had a science opening it was something just special about Mr Fox there was something special about you that I thought you know we have the wonderful teachers that have remained that are still here with us from middle school but trying to find really good teammates for them and they are singing their praises of their new teammates in middle school

033too but I want to thank you because he said to me and Mr Lathan and Miss Wade he said well if that's what you see me as and you guys can help support that of course that's what I'll do and you know what Miss Wade said she went that's the kind of people we want on our team so we're very very grateful that you're part of our team thank you okay thank you thank you and thank you that's awesome thank you so generally we also have pizza when we have kids here so our next one will have pizza and um Cults of the month um you guys are welcome to stay or take off we've probably got about 10-15 minutes so with that we go to the consent agenda a handful of things there that's

034emotionized I'll listen to um he comments on the consent agenda with that roll call please Mrs lucky bird yes Mrs Amadeus yes Mr Winky this is Allen in this restaurant yes thank you that we will move on to the District financial report which will be probably fairly short ly um [Music] so hopefully everybody reviewed this um to the best of their abilities report oh sorry yeah discussion um Mrs Lefever yes Mrs Mr mcgiven Mrs Ellen yes [Music] and on a new business item 12. this is a good one right yes pay raise prop 301 pay raise so this is the base pay allegation for prompt 301 and you can see the teachers will be receiving 20 dollars that will be spread out over all their paid periods so as a reminder 20 of the 301

035funds go towards base pay and through the motion only a question to approve the prop 301-based pay allocation it's a period of 24. to the discussion yeah this is Mr mcgibbon this is Alvin yes Miss Johnson yeah enough for an exciting one the first reading of the amended policy advisory so this was presented um the meeting before and last and we approved it in terms of it had to do with the textbook adoptions and curriculum being posted and what they had done it was redundant where the main advice we stated that all board authorized policies shall be shall be subject to opening Vietnam and it said the policies amended to delete the word board because the board gives a superintendent the authority to post-curricular and follow open leading law so it was just worded differently

036and you see the policy where they just took out the work of report because the superintendent operates under the direction of reward all day so this will be first read for information and then we'll take it to second week so that was not an action item so we'll move on to the Civics Club that's how many years we've been doing this for many years it's a lot it's yeah I would say if we've been doing it since we've been here for 15 years since I've been I think the middle age 90s was the first Middle School [Music] all right second okay Mrs yes yes Mr mcginnon Mrs Allen yes [Music] um how are you guys how are they going to raise money yes until we'll have the normal fundraising raising that we do in the

037normal letters for text ing okay next item is the governing work resolution or an imaginary teacher day which happens every year that the governing board declares and agrees that September 28th is the legendary teacher day time to recognize teachers and honor their contributions so we encourage kids to write to former teachers and thank them and I believe Mr Schubert already set up for us to do pizza and salad for our teachers on that date on a legendary teacher day and um because there's a resolution yeah um Mrs Allen yes please takes us to the leader in the education so again we are asking for approval of the character education program leader in me the resource has been posted on our website since June 14 th and it is one of three character education programs that

038was approved by comparison ication for school it's funded primarily by Ade State matching foot funds 80s Grant and the current foundation and it's based on Stephen covey's work in the stem attempts of highly effective people and one of the analogies and the kids you may hear them talking about it and um what in the presentation they talk about just yourself being mentally prepared being emotionally dwelled to do your job and to be good for others but they did an analogy of the water bottle and the soda can and talking about the water bottle can be in your car if you live it can roll and when you open it it's it doesn't overflow versus the soda can if you shake it up or drop it around it and it explodes so the concept is stay

039in control of your emotions and be the water bottle so teachers were doing that lesson with their kids in terms of you know don't overreact be the water bottle stable and it's going to be common language for us too and for each other you know in the water bottle stupid okay so that we can also keep each other in keep each other in in good spirits and calm and looking at the bright side right things could always be word worse so we're very excited about that work and it's continuing in the work that we've done with the speed of trust with our leadership team in the seven habits so we're excited that the kids okay what is this yes so it's 3k8 um so we'll be um you know following and it's 15 minutes of

040a little mini less than um three to four times a week and if you did carve out time in middle school so that they could have uh how much time and they have but they have a 25 minute clock before they go to lunch and just as a reminder we had talked about what we did our school improvement work to talk about our goal for under School Improvement rubric it it really came up that the teachers really wanted something in the social emotional realm for students and for themselves so our two days of the end service is truly based on taking a look at yourself before we even got into enable so the website is there lots of good information if you want to promote that Indonesia so we're asking for approval and we do

041have the three-year um contract um with your approval it'll continue for the next three years with the current foundation and the state matching funds so in the end it may accost us maybe five to eight thousand dollars so we're very grateful for the additional funds to be able to implement this expensive program too I'll make a motion to approve their character education program later the discussion I'll just say that I'm really happy you're learning that and maintenance Allen yeah Ms Johnson yes and the next one is uh we are motioning or asking for a new auditor which is going to save this up and put it out for a bit into a handful of companies including the ones that have done the last previous times and uh these guys rose up fully qualified to be

042fulfill the tennis but substantially so it's like half so well I'll make a motion to use a cwv [Music] second discussion to make sure I'm reading this right it's um so we have a one-year contract and then four-year renewal so it could it's really good yes we typically will approve for a year and if it's going well and we have the option of reviewing it typically locks in the price okay so if we need to go with a two to three year in the middle next year they doubled their prices yeah right listen Bieber yes Mrs yes yes [Music] um next is the asba delicate assembly coming up the uh towards the end of September and this is really where um the Saturday morning after the asba it's kind of interesting because you go and

043uh you vote on the asba policies and as a delegate you can move comment but it's all official to get into these little electronic electronic everybody's all serious then of course there's always one or two that are there every year that created that most of the promotion and the ones that have been there years before I was like oh not but I think that's pretty common in place but it is it's pretty interesting so when you see in front of you um what they're asking for us to approve through as being in terms of their their agenda so the first one is they don't the topics don't typically change it's the word within the category so what is that it would fund district schools because it's to at least the national medium per pupil so

044then the next one okay two is to preserve its own control we need to improve outcomes for all students and require public accountability for taxpayer dollar spent on education so those typically don't change you can see the SE added or fourth year and Mr Osterman will be giving you that information back to us and I think they took out the code last year yes codes your shopping list it's it's you can get a copy and it is attached on the agenda but if you'd like niani can send it out it's best if you go to the school website to do that to for dogs if you like if the one that I sent you through email you have to think the word says on file attachments and then it'll take you to pour dogs it

045does work okay but yes you can send you their email um discussion about toys Mrs Allen okay new after school clubs looks like there's three of them dungeon dragons cool are you moving through this this is to improve the club and the next one is to improve the sponsors around after school Mrs mendelman yes this is Mrs Ellen yeah Mr Ashley and next is to approve the sponsor of the Ashley problems class ification love the sponsors and my only comment is we're going to have to reduce homework so kids could go to their sporting good sporting events and all these clubs well and the good thing is I just want to add that when we hire new staff that are excited about and so these are a prime example of bringing new people in who

046want to help either enhance the clubs you know we have or start new ones and so we're very supportive of any new ideas as well and it's an incentive right if kids want to do stay part of clubs and sports they keep their grades open what they need to do in their motivation these all three weeks to you um yes so miss Mr Jones our science teacher six seven is doing Dungeons and Dragons um miss devere our new school counselor and middle school is doing the knitting crocheting crafts part and then um mirrors flower Allen is who's been doing cheer is also going to be so she's going to do dance first and fourth quarter and then cheer second third are you not a new person but it's a new club so thank you um

047your support Mrs Le Bieber yes this is Mr mcgibbon yes Mrs Allen yeah and this is the memorandum between continental and the Arizona Rangers and just again as I mentioned in a prior email the fact that we don't have our school resource office and we are forcing them to have the Arizona Rangers support in terms of wanting to work with us they've been visible during drop off and pick up after school and kind of walk into campus so again it's free of charge it's just an understanding and an agreement that we're just all working on thank you between [Music] Continental School District 39 in the Arizona so remind me why we don't have this at all so so the SRO was um taken off our area and moved toward s if there's a major shortage

048with past Arnold so Mr bacon has been in contact with um the chief or the is in charge of the sros for the Pima County area they got down to five and their goal is to have 25 would be fully staffed so if that tells you where they're at they they have a lot of guys that are coming off the streets and into the SRO unit they're planning on being fully stuffed in November 1st we're told that at that time we made receive a SRO but you know how that can go with attrition and everything else so um this just kind of gets us through to this it's a Band-Aid in my opinion having the arrangers but it's better than nothing um but they're willing to do it at no cost to the district because

049they value the Safety and Security of our students and then when we do get a full-time SRO returning then they will cease and desist and only come to public events that we need them where the sros aren't submittable Public House it was really nice I missed your question how often are they here or planning on being here so the way that it works is Arizona Rangers have a work duty log and it's posted Monday through Friday for them and so it's at their availability and so it really depends on that it's just started so we're going to be doing a training for them as you saw in the ml mou they asked that so we'll bring them on campus in the afternoon kids aren't on campus um the ones that have been here have done

050personal walkthroughs with buses Administration so that they're familiar with our safety protocols but we'll do that with the entire company I'm here in the next month wow it depends on their availability as you saw in the mou we kind of targeted some some times really drop off in the morning pick up in the afternoon and lunch time in history not just our school but in history that's when big emergency incidents has happened not that you can pinpoint to time but because they're volunteering that's the challenge but so far that with someone we've had they've been here from seven o'clock until 3 30. so and there was a gentleman here today all day as well he's exciting to be back next week next week Tuesdays so it'll you'll see it slowly start to fill up so
