001program we are on item number five from total of the minutes which is an action item on the phone um so with that we'll uh approval the Minnesota Government s of October 18th [Music] I'm uh I'm good so with that Mrs salad yes Mr mcgiven yes Mr ordinary yes the next is the uh call the public do you have any body on the phone that will move on to our superintendent's uh report foreign students we had as you know very busy October and November so I'd like to welcome everyone to November's board meeting they'll see our vision and our mission statement we like to start out with our vision and mission statement and we are having a little contest to see if anybody has our mission equipment memorized do we have any students in the
002audience that have a hard mission statement memorized yet okay what about our vision statement boys and girls want to read it with me ready building for the future learning cooperating and caring for all okay we're gonna have prizes for anyone who can memorize our mission at our vision statement there are still some um lots of ballots to be um exactly made in the story that still need to be counted County as of this morning we're about 38 000. so 38 000 votes yet to be counted but we would like to congratulate Mr President Mr Steven Austin and Mrs Ruth ahmadias within our audience who will be joining our board in January so we're not anticipating that the votes will change um that much to affect Mr Australia but again we do have to wait till
003the officially call the election um but I would also like to thank Mr price for her years of service to the Continental School Board her nosport meeting will be in next month in December and then our new board member will join us um ideas in January we will continue holding strong and again once it holds always a cult and we appreciate all of our community members that went out to vote so we really appreciate your continued support of Continental teaching enrollment update you will see we're still standing we have 652 students we are down by eight students from last year at this exact time we will be getting a letter out to our parents and this will be on our website but I wanted to inform everyone officially that our Netter grade is the fee
004and appeal has been filed for an error in the static file of how a student was coded correcting the error should change our Netter grade to an A so the appeal was submitted today and we will know on December 9th so we just have to hang tight for our major celebration but we are hopeful with the data and the information that we had the static file that Ade released October 21st was there was it was different than the final one that they released on December 31st so we were able to find the error one theme that I want to reiterate to our parents and our students is that this is one student that's going to make the difference that's going to be able to bump us up to and behave if it all works as
005planned so when we talk about every student counts and all students count it is true because one student an error in the file can make a difference right to our progress so I want to thank our staff for everybody's continued hard work and all our students who are progressing and all parents who are working so hard especially through coven we did see a lot of dips in the data nationally which I shared last month that we did not follow that trend of the dip in pla and math like the nation did so we know that we are working hard and we will continue to work hard and hopefully get our Aid December night continuous Improvement we continue to look at our NWA reports on our roadmap to Excellence we did discuss having to move 10
