010tonight my name ah yes the microphone might be useful i've addressed the board a number of times about an issue that's quite important to me this year as i've said in past i was we were my english teacher was going to be teaching to kill a mockingbird use it as a teaching resource to in addition to the curriculum and uh last month i had the pleasure of meeting with miss amy tisciling and superintendent dr tony american and they they ex did explain to me that the these decisions are normally left to the the school and the school administration and sometimes the curriculum committee and that i i do understand that the board has a lot on their plate the pandemic is difficult there's a lot of decisions to be made but i think that this
011is worth the board's time the he the literature chosen has always been a very important part of the english department at the various schools around the district i remember a lot of the best books that i've read have come from have come from my english class i mean some notable titles that come off the top of my head are among the hidden from sixth grade the outsiders from eighth grade and even lord of the flies which we're reading now no spoilers and i fee i feel like it's very important it's one of the most important things in the district what students are taught and the more english choices the english teachers have the more able they are to provide a learning experience that they believe is best for their students so what i propose is
012a he is some sort of hearing where parents and teachers and students who feel the book should be removed and those who could feel it should be put back in place he's could meet and dress their address their concerns the school board possibly ending in a school board vote because i believe that this is a relevant matter to the board of education and i believe that it's important that the the board have a hand in with the the curriculum which is what so much of the blue valley schools and many school distr most school districts across the country are founded on is the curriculum what's actually being taught thank you oops thank you for coming this evening we appreciate it and as i said before just one speaker tonight so that wraps up open forum
013on behalf of the board of education thank you david for joining us tonight uh we appreciate you took the time to share your thoughts and uh please know that we all took notes and and listened carefully as you spoke to us tonight next up i'm going to call the meeting to order and our first agenda item is to receive reports from board advisory committees and the first one for tonight is curriculum and instruction good evening the curriculum and instruction board advisory committee met via zoom on march 10th holly mccarty our district coordinating teacher for math presented on plans for a high school math pilot for the 21 22 school year she explained the who the what and the why of the introduction to data science um this data i'm sorry the introduction to data science
014will be a rigorous course for students and will help them develop quantitative skills and provide tools for them for additional courses janelle brauer was present she provided an update on instrumental music she discussed mitigation measures which were in place this year the committee was updated on work with the band and orchestra departments reviewing plans for instruction for next school year given the reality of the impact of the pandemic on instruction in their particular area this year particularly on year one students at the elementary level and orchestra and band this conversation included plans to consider maximizing instructional time and instrument specific instruction at the elementary level kelly ott and i presented on the blue valley edge uh presentation which which actually you'll be hearing later this evening in our work in partnership with the kauffman foundation
015the cni committee will meet again this week april 14th at 4 pm via zoom thank you dr collier up next is diversity equity and inclusion with dr american the diversity equity and inclusion committee actually has met twice since the last meeting they first met on march 11 where the committee began with a engaging in an equity autobiography activity which was something that the equity committee that's working with the kauffman foundation had engaged in and the discussion here revolved around how our early school experiences impact us shape our views of education and our vision for schools the second part of the meeting focused on the strategies that had been developed in previous meetings and discussion around those goals the next meeting was on april 8th last thursday they met again via zoom and dr kelly wessel
016and and dr katy collier reviewed the work that blue valley is doing as a part of the equity in schools cohort with the the kauffman foundation the cohort involves professional learning for our blue valley team but it also involves some data that the committee had gone through the committee then divided into small groups and talked about the gaps and the opportunities that we could utilize based on the data that we had seen the group will meet for the final time on may 13th and at that time they're going to finalize a plan that they plan to present to the board of education in june thank you dr american health and well-being and student services from dr schmidt good evening uh the health and well-being board advisory meeting met by zoom on april the 7th after
017the meeting was called to order i introduced michelle kelly who's our coordinator of parents as teachers and she provided a report to our committee just a few highlights from that there are 17 part-time parents parent educators and they have provided services to over 550 families and those services operate either once per month or twice per month at our last full year we served families with over 704 children and that included 3910 home visits with 206 groups where they were able to get together and build relationships with other families and over 85 percent of all of the children involved received a full screening for developmental standards and that resulted in 51 students getting early interventions because of various uh issues that that were brought up during that time for those of you that have been involved
018in parents as teachers she also talked about many of the small group or the big group activities which brought folks together some of the highlights include blockfest mindful movement safety fair rock and read and of course my favorite touch a truck where they have the like the fire stations and and the big big equipment come out also in the end of the year survey parents always are asked you know how did this experience go for you and parents reported that the knowledge and skills that they developed and they were able to learn about really increased their ability to parent in a parent effectively and this is shown because parents who have graduated from pat are far more involved in their children's education i also need just to mention that at the end of last year
019which was cut short a little bit we were going to we just celebrated or just completed our 30th anniversary as parents as teachers and parents as teachers in blue valley was one of the original pilot programs in the state of kansas and it has been just an outstanding success and largely due to you know leadership of folks like wendy webb and now michelle is just doing an outstanding job and to kind of capstone that blue blue valley parents as teachers were just awarded the blue ribbon affiliate for the national parents teachers organization so we're very proud of that group following the parents teachers presentation and discussion we wrapped it up with a couple of updates and then finally asked for feedback about how we could improve the health and wellbeing committee as this was our
020final meeting of the year and our next meeting will be in september of 2021. thanks dr schmidt i'm kind of with you i think i liked going to touch a truck even more than my son did so a lot of exploring there kyle hayden up for finance and operations good evening the finance and operations board advisory committee met last thursday april 8th via zoom i started the meeting with several general updates related to the return to learn for k-12 and also the current legislative matters that are impacting blue valley schools director of finance jenny daniel presented two reports related to the march johnson county tax distribution and the allocations from the federal government for the elementary and secondary schools emergency relief act director of facilities and operations jake slobodnick provided an update on the 2020

022it um yeah i just wanted to give a quick little update um for the blue valley ed foundation the night of lights um kickoff uh was this last weekend and helped hand out race packets because they've modified their event from being on campus and the nice little grassy knoll over here to more of a a walk run situation so that's going to be exciting for them great thank you so much mike sites two very quick items this has been a interesting week needless to say i want to give two shout outs one to kyle hayden just some feedback we had our facilities and finance and operations meeting the feedback i got from our patrons was related fundamentally to your outstanding leadership i want to make sure the board hears that i want to make sure
023the public hears that and kyle i especially want to say thank you to you you have a whole team of people and i'm not going to mention them all excuse me but i want to make sure that you feed that back to your team and that and that you hear that directly from the board and from the from the patrons the other is mark schmidt what a week huh um parents as teachers the 18 to 21 year old program the peer program at hilltop the special ed coveted mitigation and vaccinations health and well-being mark thank you um i wasn't able to make the health and well-being meeting and i apologize for that but you are known throughout the area for doing just absolutely wonderful things tim dewis just sings your praises and i want to
024make sure you understand that so thank you for what you do thank you for what you have done but more important thanks for what you're going to do how was that dr marion okay thanks mike that was great michelle i don't have anything major to say but i i was extremely impressed by mr edwards and how he spoke to us tonight if if anyone noticed he did not have notes he just came up up and spoke extemporaneously and i was extremely impressed what an you know what a fantastic articulate young man so that made me very proud that's great patrick hurley i have nothing thank you okay stacy uh yes uh real quick um i know uh mark schmidt already covered health and well-being but um many of you probably don't realize that we're one
025of the few programs that that is open to everybody in the district you do not have to qualify with special needs or have income requirements or anything like that which i think makes the problem or the program so incredibly strong here and they did also mention which i found interesting that they had found that for every dollar spent before the age of five would um recoup seven dollars later and particularly in programs like esol was one that they had mentioned as an example that if you can get a kid adjusted and not have to use the program as much by the time they start kindergarten that that really is very helpful for for the kids um and it makes a much better learning experience for them so that was a wonderful presentation i do always
026enjoy that committee they do a fantastic job there and um i really also just wanted to say thank you particularly to all of the staff out in the buildings uh it has been a trying year and i know that right now they're focused on end of year the celebrations the plans wrapping up classes curriculum finals that sort of thing and just really want to say thank you i really do appreciate all you're doing for our kids every day and then really to the district office staff here just an incredibly dedicated group of people they work hard each and every day and they do things that you have no idea that they're doing uh behind the scenes and so really just wanted to um have a chance just to say thank you um your your actions
027are noticed many are appreciative and really um receive the benefit of all that you do for the kids every day so thank you and dr american thank you i have several things so i want to start first of all by thanking staff and students we've been back in school three weeks now full time all of our students i know elementary's been in for a while but middle and high school and things are going very very well if you look at our covet dashboard we still have some cases but they're lower than they've been all year we have some quarantines but again lower than they've been all year and i believe that's in direct result of our students and staff really following our mitigation efforts and and doing really good things we are focused in on
028ending strong we have um seven weeks left and we're excited for a little bit of normalcy we're planning end of the year events they're we're doing the best that we can to do them as normal as possible but we will still have mitigation efforts in place but we are really focused in on those um the other thing i would say is that we have offered voluntary testing for students i want to reiterate that's voluntary thanks to dr schmidt and our school nurses and in our buildings for offering that as an opportunity for students that happens to be this week but all of those things are really setting us up well i think to end the year strong on the consent agenda tonight is the blue valley ed foundation it is blue valley ed foundation month
029we're recognizing that as april and jody mentioned their night of lights and i did my 10k yesterday my little bib and you can look at my apple watch if you want to verify for me um but it i didn't realize it was a 10k until i actually looked at it so but i did do that so thank you to the ed foundation they continue to really work to meet the needs of kids and teachers during a time when i didn't think they'd be able to do any fundraising and they have just done a phenomenal job so thank you to joey and cindy and lisa and the board of directors and everybody who works with the ed foundation um april also has lots of national recognition so april happens to be national occupational therapy month so
030we appreciate our ots who are in our buildings working with students april 7th was paraprofessional day and we have amazing paraprofessionals who work with our students every single day often one-on-one with some of our most needy students and so thank you to our paraprofessionals for all you do to support our buildings um national library week was april 4th through the 10th and i want to thank our librarians for everything that they do to support teachers and students and then finally um april 19th to the 23rd that's next week is administrative professionals week and we have again amazing administrative assistants in our buildings really supporting us to do the right things and then finally last friday if you went to an elementary you would have seen some pretty excited students it was kindergarten roundup day so
031the class of 2034 joined our buildings and i am happy to say our reports from buildings have been that that day went amazingly well and we're very excited to have that class join us seems like a long way away 2034. so thank you dr merrigan and and thanks to the board for recognizing um all that you did tonight with folks i think that's a big part of this and um lots of thank yous and very well deserved next up is approving the agenda uh for the meeting tonight and do i have a motion i move that the board of education approved the agenda for the april 12 2021 regular board of education meeting as published thank you tom second all right motion by tom second by stacy all those in favor please raise your right
032hand motion passes 7-0 and next up is the consent agenda and i know there's been a couple things mentioned um that are part of the consent agenda tonight do i have a motion to approve the consent agenda i move that the board of education approved the consent agenda for the april 12 2021 regular board of education meeting as published all right any further discussion or adjustments all right all those in favor please raise your right hand all right motion passes 7-0 and the motion was by stacy second by michelle okay so first up on our regular agenda for tonight is the real world learning presentation by dr collier just a few moments ago i heard reference to our planning for end of the year activities this is an example of our planning and thinking forward
033to next school year and actually beyond so we're pretty pretty deep into plans for that and we're really excited to present to you tonight this concept of bv edge bv edge is a three year plan in which we will seek to impact those students graduating from blue valley school district with at least one market value asset and we'll be explaining what that is this evening i'm joined by adam wade adam wade is our director of achievement and accountability for the district and so adam is one of the members of our district design team that has been focused on this work and i would like to just take a moment and acknowledge each one of our design team members though they are not with us this evening they have been fully committed to thinking about uh
034really imagining just what other opportunities we can provide to our students katie bonamar our director of career ready programs was part of the team scott roberts represented our secondary high school principals as principal at southwest sarah barron she's our liaison between johnson county community college and blue valley school district related to supporting those students in those programs at johnson county scott kreshl our principal of the valley academy joy ginsburg of the blue valley education foundation david stubblefield our executive director of secondary school administration kelly ott our executive director of instruction curriculum and innovation chad ralston our director of caps and jennifer bauer our business development specialist all of these individuals sought to gather feedback from others around this plan as well i appreciate their time and dedication so blue valley is in partnership with the
035un you and excuse me ewing kaufman foundation and getting smart organization kaufman is working with metro school districts to see that as students leave high school that they are leaving with at least one market value asset that they're adding credentials to their high school diplomas getting smart is an organization which has assisted school districts in their professional learning around this particular area so you might be asking what exactly is a market value asset a market value asset would would be an experience for students that allows them to participate in an internship or an apprenticeship allows them to attain college credit perhaps they select and they achieve an industry recognized credential prior to graduation they might participate in a client connected project and you can see there also this involves work experience at the high school
036level or even entrepreneurial experiences the goal of this work again is to ensure that each student as they graduate does so with at least one of these experiences we believe through the development of our plan that is possible to provide these students experiences actually beginning prior to the junior or senior of high school but instead at the middle or even as early at the elementary level and why is that important we want to expose students to as many experiences as they can to assist them in informing themselves regarding their areas of interest and passion in terms of what they might do beyond their blue valley academic experience so the team determined that these are the skills that students would develop by participating in some of those experiences that i just defined for you we believe
037these skills assist in providing students what we refer to as the blue valley edge when they graduate allowing them to be more competitive when it comes to moving right to the field of work or proceeding on to college this work absolutely connects to the district's strategic plan this work actually seeks to further operationalize the blue valley strategic plan and you can see here exemplary educators we're going to talk about staff professional learning safe and inclusive environments we're going to talk about how do we ensure that all students have access to these opportunities the programs that you're going to hear about tonight by their very nature foster creativity and we hope to also add meaning and personalization to their educational experiences embedded within this plan one of the first things that we did we took a
038look at our pathways currently that we offer within the district to see where currently do we offer college credit internship client connected projects or industry recognized credentials so that we could take if you will an early assessment have some pre-programmed data if you will much of these opportunities i might point out would not be possible if they were not for the partnerships that we have with johnson county community college an expanding partnership with baker university with our overland park fire department we're going to talk a little bit about that here in just a minute and then of course there's certainly a connection to the work that's happening just across the parking lot at caps and how this work can influence those experiences as well [Music] we have eight students this semester that are in our
039inaugural group who are experiencing the opportunity to take courses in automotive technology pathway at johnson county community college and so these are juniors and seniors in high school who take about half of their school day and transition over to johnson county community college and kind of take classes in a cohort model so they're embedded in automotive technology courses with titles like brakes and suspension and alignment and things like that that they have a passion for and don't have the opportunity in our high schools to really engage in in a hands-on learning experience i'm doing it in high school so it's really kind before we even started college or getting college credits which is i think unbelievable opportunity and you kind of just get you a lot of freedom which is kind of being able to
040pick and choose and you know you kind of set your own pace you also get to get a feel for what college is before you actually have like a baby smaller than a normal four-year school they are over there half their school day they take courses they're taking notes they're in a classroom setting they have textbooks it is a real college learning experience but they also have labs where they get to work on the parts of the car and really apply their learning in an area where they will ultimately be able to earn an industry recognized certification or an associate's degree if they continue after they graduate high school and be employable or have a skill set that will benefit them for the rest of their life [Music] dr collier just a point of clarification
041that was last year correct those students were at johnson county last year correct thank you one of the things that i show you that video is because we have really quite frankly katie bonnema sarah baron in particular have worked very hard to market these opportunities this current school year so you can see the growth in front of you in some of the programs that we're offering again directly tied to their efforts and getting into the schools and thinking about marketing to help students become more and more aware of the opportunities that they have in front of them at this time what we had to do before we could develop a plan was take a look at our current market value asset and adam wade really took the lead on that he's going to explain to
042our current data prior to the presentation of the plan all right all right thank you dr collier so up here we have the baseline data from the class of 2019 and the class of 2020. so among the different possibilities and i use some abbreviations in here but college credit is one pathway that students can take to get a market value asset the kaufman foundation parameter is that it has to be at least nine hours of college credit so in terms of trying to figure that out for our students because a lot of our students take ap exams which come into college credit later as opposed to right at that moment we roughly estimated that a three or higher on an ap exam would get a student three hours of college credit so that that was
043factored into the college credit computation in addition to hours received from johnson county or baker so those hours combined if a student had at least nine hours there they checked the college credit box okay the next particular line is for students who had college credit and something else and the internship slash ccp ccp's client connected project so all students at caps complete a client connected project and a lot of the students at caps complete an internship also but since all of those students were already in the client connected project group it didn't necessarily make sense to separate those irc next line down so these are students who had college credit plus basically the caps piece plus an industry recognized credential and for us the irc also was tied to caps it was the cna certification
044so the certified nursing aid certification there um so really you know a lot of these pieces are pretty connected you can just kind of see the layout over the class of 2019-20 and how different students got in to that particular pathway and the combinations they had so these are just different school trends in the classes of 2019 and classes of 2020 you can see pretty consistent across buildings across years again up through the class of 2020 there wasn't a whole lot of work towards specific market value assets and targeting those acquisitions so we wouldn't expect there to be a ton of um variation maybe there and and there wasn't which is pretty good one item of note here students attending blue valley academy are also tied to their home school so just because you were
045you are at the academy for a semester or two semesters or three semesters you're actually counting towards whatever your home school's data is as well um so this is just broken down a little more at a little more of a granular level just by school and this is just the class of 2020 now but again you can kind of see and really the point in an analysis like this was to see is there anything that's really standing out in terms of um you know what are students from particular schools doing is there some behavior that we're doing that's forcing students in one school into one pathway versus another again i don't know that we necessarily see a whole lot of variants here or anything here that that maybe stands out a whole lot um interesting
046though that in the end the numbers end up relatively close but where we did start to see some major differences and this is one of the things dr collier is going to speak to in a minute is within this demographic data so in the classes of 2019 and 2020 black or african american students earned mvas at rates of 39.4 and 35.2 percent so that's lower than overall numbers the overall numbers were 63 and 65. in the classes of 2019 and percentage of females earning an mva outpaced the percentage of males earning an mva by 13 and eight and a half percent um in the classes of 2019 and 2020 students on free and reduced lunch earned mvas at rates of right at 44 percent again a good deal lower than overall percentages and in the
047classes of 2019 and 2020 students with a unit number in their home address so that the idea there was to see students that were renting potentially parents were renting a residence those students earned mvas at rates of about 37 and 39 so about 26 lower if you're just subtracting the percents so um just some interesting pieces in the demographics we we did a lot more analysis than just these points but these were the ones that kind of stuck out so that's why we wanted to kind of point those out right there dr collier back to you so each time we review various data points we're looking for opportunities those are opportunities to grow and really connect as adam just pointed out to you some opportunities to connect this work to diversity equity inclusion work in
048terms of the survey data last winter prior to the pandemic and adjustment in school we had administered a survey to students and parents and in this we asked them some questions that would help inform this work and you can see there that 97 percent of the respondents indicated a preference for a four-year degree however 65 of those respondents were supportive of a technical degree or certificate what we found in conducting focus groups with students is that oftentimes there wasn't enough information around some of those opportunities further feedback that this that the students in particular gave us we conducted a variety of focus groups as i look across the diocese i know several of you actually sat in some of those focus groups that we conducted and across those focus groups with students staff parents and
049members of the business community we asked three uh key questions to assist us in uh developing the plan that you're gonna see here in just a moment so our first goal is to annually increase the number of graduates leaving blue valley with at least one market value asset adding value to their blue valley diploma some of the ways that we're going to do that are listed here we're going to develop a building champion for this work at each building we believe that will assist with getting information out someone that will be definitely of assistance to us as we plan for professional learning we also are going to be identifying defining and prioritizing industry recognized credentials understanding high demand high growth areas of work and seeking to understand where industry recognized credentials are in high demand
050for our students and how we can help them achieve those also we'll be working to understand further state definition of work based learning and working to weave that into some of our opportunities this data that adam just shared with you is quite vast i can tell you though we don't have just one place where we warehouse this data and track these experiences across all of our high schools so we're going to be weaving that in and then again i've mentioned communication already in marketing the next thing that we're going to do is look at are the opportunities within our data and that is to increase the number of underrepresented student groups attaining at least one market value asset we know communication is key we want to ensure that we are communicating in families native language
051we want to provide invitation personal invitations to understand just what the programs are perhaps at johnson county we can do that through field trips personal counseling and we have just a whole host of ideas we know that transportation for students is a barrier we've talked about that students have told us that sometimes it's hard to get to johnson county community college sometimes just to caps and just the cost of attaining even college credit while they're in our care is something we're going to look at the piece of teacher externships the goal there is to help teacher cohorts to allow them to get out into the field and understand the experiences that students will have to help them design instruction around some of these opportunities and finally you can see specifically we're going to do some
052work to expand in three identified areas client connected projects ircs and college credit we believe those three are inherently touched by the work that we're going to do around the high school study that will be launched next school year where we look closely at the opportunities embedded within our courses where we look at just exactly what is that path to accrual of high school graduation credits we're going to look very closely again at our courses and what opportunities we have for revision there finally in terms of evaluation metrics accountability we'll be coming to you throughout the year with updates in our work we'll also be coming to you really quite frankly annually to discuss and share with you where we're at in terms of our data in these three areas we will learn here by
053the end of the school year the full receipt of any kaufman funds for this work and they will continue to support our district as they're supporting other districts in this world the welding and metal fabrication program at jccc has been a game changer for our students that are involved in it the students that are enrolled in this our first year have been on the dean's list at jccc first semester their grades at their home at blue valley high school have never been better students will earn that welding certificate over the course of their junior and senior year they'll attend their home blue valley high school and knock out their blue valley graduation requirements and then go to jccc for the other half of the day work in those state-of-the-art labs at jccc from welding industry
054expert where they learn about the science of metal and gas but also do the hands-on work of learning how to weld currently there are more certified welders retiring than there are new certified welders coming into the industry so no matter where in the country or in fact the world you want to live you can get a job with that welding certificate or that welding associate degree it's really exciting to be part of an industry that has so many job opportunities and so many things to use with that welding certificate our numbers have quadrupled from this year to next year in terms of enrollment and in fact jccc has agreed to do a morning cohort and an afternoon cohort to allow our blue valley students that much more flexibility in their schedules [Music] so while we
055think about the end of this school year we're really excited to get going next school year i'm happy to answer any questions that you might have on behalf of our team dr collier i don't think you said this but back on the slide that adam showed where it talked about the five high schools and kind of where the percentages lie i think the top at this point was around 70 percent um that had an mba or had achieved that what's what's a realistic number over the next couple of years thank you for that so really quite frankly the kaufman foundation has a goal of for all school districts to have their students realize um leaving graduation with at least one mba we believe because of that work that we're going to do tied to uh
056goal one and two that it's reasonable but that by the end of year two uh we we really should see quite a jump in our data but um most narrowly 2027 is the is the latest we would go before we believe that we would see 100 of our students graduating and that's the year that we projected to kauffman however we very much believe that really by year two we'll see quite a significant jump in that and just one other question and then i'll let others ask some questions on just you know i looked at highs and lows on the percentages and are there any findings with those at the 70 percent level that we can share with um the the school or the high school that was on the lower level part of that and
057adam certainly chime in part of that's tied to really part of the guidance that's happening in terms of the emphasis of the opportunities so when sarah baron talked about in that video the growth that she's seen we're really telling you know we really look at okay what communication has happened on a particular pathway in a particular high school etc so that that's part of it and also what we haven't seen is gather data to see what we know about the ebb and flow of student interest areas so we believe by doing that that might help us understand better without making assumptions about the difference that exists between those high schools okay and jody i think you had something i i did quickly so for those of you who didn't know april is national welding month
058right so how apropos is this uh see yeah right so the second thing is that um a couple slides back you talked about the um pull that you took with parents and students do you have that broken down into um it looked like the parents and students were grouped together with with the the results you had on that did you have do you have it broken down into what the student's perception was um compared to what this the parents were yes we actually have a full report on that and i'd be happy to share that with the board for your review okay thank you mike sites first of all thank you this has been a passion that i've had for quite some time and it's nice to see it coming together um i think this
059year was probably a speed bump on the way to get to where you want to be but it looks like you're all ahead full the only thing i'd like to do is is ask and i already mentioned this to you the other day let's make sure that we celebrate the achievements of the the kids that are in these programs as much as we do with our athletes and with the the kids going to to harvard and yale and princeton and ku um these these guys are our heroes and um sometimes we forget because we we are so intent on academic achievement that this is academic achievement so i just stress that we absolutely must reward in the same fashion their passion that we reward every other passion passion on this on the field of sport
060the passion in the um [Music] ap testing and and let's just make sure we don't forget that please and i think maybe this year we might have somebody at graduation who's going to actually receive two degrees a high school graduation and something from johnson county community college so that will be our first foray into celebrating um these accomplishments but i agree that's just the first step i i agree with you 100 as well you guys remember we toured johns county community college facilities right before the pandemic started and how passionate those kids blue valley kids are over there learning automotive and other things were about that so i just piling on i couldn't agree more because i know mike you've talked about this for a long time and and several has to talk about this
061long time so really good stuff today appreciate it ccsm um yeah i just might ask i know we have a lot on our plate right now um and i know that we've been increasing the type of programs that we offer with the fire science coming on in the welding what if you were to look ahead the next couple years what do you see is it possible for us to continue to grow those programs what what would you imagine just maybe for those on the younger end in our district thinking ahead that we might be able to offer sure so i would say we have very hearty partnerships i only see the opportunity for those to expand we've been looking at areas that we we really believe we can do more work in and so cyber
062security for instance is an area we absolutely know we there's high interest high demand from our students and we know we can expand that so we're looking into the logistics we know across the country there's a teacher shortage so we're looking at how do we expand opportunities to draw our own students to the field of child care and teaching what opportunities do we have there what opportunities do we have in the area of cosmetology so not only do we continue to plan to nurture our partnerships we look at opportunities to tap into some areas we haven't quite tapped yet that's great good question all right thank you katie and thank you adam we appreciate your presentation all right next up construction update jake's gonna lead us through this one so good evening and thanks for
063having me i i don't get the opportunity to put on a tie very often anymore so any chance i get to i welcome it i was going to say you're looking pretty stylish hey thank you thank you i appreciate it is it is it a clip-on or is it no not a [Laughter] you know i've been in the district eight years and the last 15 months have been probably some of the most exciting 15 months or months in in my time here and why 15 months you ask well 15 months ago with the support of our patrons we passed the 2020 bond and this was a schedule we put together even before we passed the bond to start thinking about how are we going to implement all the projects that we want to get done
064over the next three three and a half four years and what you see here is everything in gray on the left side of the schedule is already complete that takes you up to the middle of april where we are today and so i'm going to talk a little bit about what projects we've completed some projects that we have coming up this coming summer and then projects that we have coming down the pipeline in years to come and you'll see mostly bond projects here but then we'll also talk about a few capital outlay projects as well to start probably one of our biggest celebrations the mobiles at blue valley high are gone i was in blue valley high this morning i happened to walk this new space and it is amazing we took out the mobiles
065we built a 12 classroom edition three large flexible spaces and it's it's amazing and i think at the end of this week uh scott bacon principal at blue valley high is going to have his seniors start to utilize this space so real exciting project for blue valley high last summer we renovated four elementary schools to implement flexible learning environments you can start to see what that looks like here the image on the left is the existing image on the right starts to show all the operable walls and the flexible environments that we're creating and we'll continue to do this work the next three summers as we implement this across all of our elementary schools as well big safety improvements district-wide we started at the high schools last summer and this past fall we added thumb
066turn locks to all of our classrooms we added laminated safety glass to any classroom space or secure space within the district at our high schools and then we'll jump into middle schools this coming summer and fall and then we're updating elementary schools as we renovate the flexible learning environments we do a lot of maintenance work as well so maybe not as glamorous but just as important last summer we did work at seven of our sites we replaced 50 mechanical units district wide this is a big deal especially right now as we talk about covid and all of our indoor air quality concerns being able to replace units to make sure that we have adequate filtration that we're able to introduce adequate outside air to our buildings this is a big project and really important and
067we'll continue to do this really every summer as we move forward a lot of other maintenance projects you might be familiar with we're starting to remove vinyl composition tile in our buildings those take a lot of man hours and dollars to make sure that we maintain those we're introducing polished concrete we've done some pool deck repairs we added an elevator at leawood elementary school along with a number of kitchen cooler and freezer replacements district-wide all this work will continue to do really each summer as we as we progress through the bond we also work closely with dr schmidt and his team to identify special ed improvements district-wide last summer we worked on blue valley north blue valley west in valley park and we have a number coming up this summer as well project that's underway
068now we've got a gymnasium edition it's an auxiliary gym 425 seat capacity at blue valley north this also serves as an icc 500 storm shelter so not only do we have the benefits of gymnasium if you've ever been in a storm or an event at blue valley north you know that this is a huge improvement from the current conditions there to get all of our students and all of our staff in a safe space at blue valley north this project is currently under construction and it should be done by the end of this summer ready for next school year so we're extremely excited about this this one's just getting underway we're not a lot of vertical construction to look at just yet we're just getting out of the ground but this is a capital outlay
069project that we're working on at blue valley west this will be the new home football and athletic and activities complex for our blue valley west and blue valley southwest high schools and we'll have this it's really it's under construction now should be complete late august we're hoping to be ready for the first football game on september 8th which happens to be blue valley southwest and west playing each other so this will have a new grandstand bleachers locker rooms concessions restrooms and storage this is a fantastic project this is an upgrade at blue valley northwest we're converting a natural grass playing field into an artificial turf field and we're really wrapping this project up and looking at a completion any day now so this will be an exciting one to see finish up here we've talked
070about this before you've seen elementary 24 a new elementary school designed to have a capacity of around 575 students about 25 24 classrooms dedicated special ed rooms lots of flexible spaces it's really starting to take shape you can see here that the outside or the exterior walls are really starting to be built all the mechanical and electrical is really getting into place right now and and we're looking to finish up construction sometime in the middle of next year so another fantastic project for the district a lot of upcoming projects so we we talked a little bit about how we did four elementary schools last summer wasn't enough we want to do six this summer we've got lots of middle school dollar hardware laminated glass a lot of fire alarm and mechanical upgrades more flooring more
071sped we're also going to look at all of our theater spaces district wide at the high school and middle school level make a lot of lighting and cosmetic modifications but even more safety upgrades so those are big big projects for all of our schools i've got three really four more projects that i've highlighted here that i'll touch on with some imagery we talked about the classroom edition at blue valley high we've got two more additions a new competition gym and a new performing arts edition that'll take place on the west side of the building and those are going to get started any day now on the gymnasium this is a new just shy of 2000 seat competition gym another icc 500 storm shelter for the district another huge improvement on the safety side of things
072for blue valley high the performing arts edition this will be on the north side of the building it'll be a really a flexible theater so it looks a little different than what a little theater might look like it's truly designed to be a flexible space for not only our performing arts groups but really any group within blue valley high it'll also have a new green room practice rooms storage and restrooms so this is this will start to really break ground this month so we're looking forward to seeing it get started blue valley northwest we're working on a new gymnasium edition on the northwest corner of the building this is another um competition gym it'll have just shy of 2000 you know seat capacity and another icc 500 storm shelter for northwest which is again a
073really big deal the only big shelter they have is is the performing arts classroom addition that we did a few years ago on the southeast side of the building so this is a really important project for this building and then last project i want to touch on is a new logistics center and this is a capital outlay project and this is really a significant facility located on our district office campus but it houses all of our receiving and distribution our print shop location for all of our it devices to come into before they go out to our buildings if you know where it does that now you kind of know it's all over the district a lot of inefficiencies right now this will help streamline all those processes we're really early in the design so
074we're looking to start construction hopefully january of 22. so by the numbers this is a really important slide we've to date bid in the bond 22 packages we've done work at 75 sites that's more than we have school buildings but that there's some overlap we have projects that multiple projects that take place at one building bond budget to the gmp you'll see that we're really close uh we're within five or point five percent what that tells me is that all the planning that went into the bond early on uh we did a really good job district-wide to making sure that our budgets were set really close and aligned with the needs of the of the projects and then the last item contingencies you'll start to see that we'll get money back on all of our
075projects and excuse me and we would expect that on any of our projects where we have contingencies or allowances that we'll see dollars back and we'll see around 600 000 coming back on the first three projects that that we've completed so far happy to answer any questions oh one last slide i do want to thank there are a lot of people that go into all this work and so each month we meet with about 30 of us and you can see what that looks like on the left the big chart of everything that we go through each month and this is a a lot of people that work on this and we just want to thank our team in safety and security i.t business operations and my team and facilities operations and with that happy
076to answer any questions jake i have a quick question yeah um on the allowances and contingencies the six hundred thousand dollar number that you anticipate us getting back that's bond dollars right that's bond dollars correct only can be spent on future bond things that were under the bond that was elected by our patrons that's correct that's correct yeah any of those unspent dollars can be reallocated towards a future project got it correct just wanted to clarify that for anyone wondering because that always sounds nice like oh six hundred thousand yes it is six hundred thousand dollars in a specific bucket right in a specific bucket thank you yep mine was simple i know we talked about um kyle hayden before but i just want to tell you we appreciate all your work as well leadership
077over the last 15 18 months on on doing some business a little bit differently and the way we're doing our projects and i just hear nothing but really good things from your guys in so thank you i appreciate it including tonight's presentation i appreciate that yeah i get to be the face of it but it's really everybody behind i know you got a full team so please pass it on as well yeah all right um oh sorry go ahead after you i i was just going to ask first of all this is very exciting i love all these projects they're safety for kids they're cost savings for us they're equalizing facilities at our different schools so that being said there is a lot on your plate coming up and it seems like you've taken on
078more than what you have done in the past are we feeling really confident that um you know current conditions will not stop us from being able to open our buildings completely ready in august absolutely yeah we've got a fantastic not only our design team our construction managers that we're working with are fantastic our team you know chad luther and dan drake who manage most of these projects from my department they meet all the time they're meeting weekly on every project to make sure that not only are we designing the right things but that we can implement these in construction and be ready for start of school so no concerns awesome thank you thank you very much um i and i apologize the uh one of the things i i failed to mention when i talked
079about kyle was i met with um one of the leaders of one of our contracting firms who just said tremendous things about you jake i appreciate that um the professionalism with which you conduct yourself the knowledge that you have um well done the second thing i wanted to mention was at our finance and operations meeting last week it was suggested by multiple patrons that that 660 some odd thousand dollars be split among the board members i had to remind them that that was capital money number one and couldn't be spent on salaries and number two that um there are no salaries on the board so um i guess uh sorry goes back into the kit thanks jake yeah no problem thank you does anyone else have anything thanks jake this is awesome yeah thank you
080very much it's a great update appreciate it thanks for your time away by the 15 months ago oh yeah that's crazy i don't know if that's so long ago or if it feels like yesterday it's kind of both yes right and the fact that jake and his team just kept going yep yep we're rolling excellent job thank you all right next step is that dr america is going to give us a legislative update thank you this is not quite as exciting as jake's or katie's presentation tough to follow right it is tough to follow i should have maybe gone first um so i'm here to give you a legislative update so just as a reminder the legislative calendar they had their adjournment last friday it's called first adjournment they will they're on a three-week spring
081break they will be back on may 3rd and i think they worked very long hours last week so they have a much deserved break right now just as a reminder we have three board of education adopted priority positions to fund special education at the statutory amounts and expand the definition of at risk to enhance student mental health and to eliminate tax credits and vouchers for private schools and those are the three that we um we have other prior or other positions as well but those are the three we decided back in december i believe that we really needed to focus in on in topeka so i'm going to highlight a few bills that have or non bills that have happened in the last couple of weeks that affect schools and kind of going forward so
082the first would be around funding there were a couple of school funding bills and last month we talked about house bill 2119 that was the monster bill that had lots of things in it and it passed the house 61-58 that that passed last month in the house blue valley did oppose that because of the tax credits and the educational savings accounts that were in it which were in direct uh conflict with our priority position last week the senate um had senate bill 175 which was very similar to house bill 2119 that did not pass it failed by one vote it was a vote of 20 to 20. blue valley also opposed that again because of the tax credits and the educational savings accounts in direct conflict to our priority position so there was an overall
083budget that was sent to the governor but it excluded k-12 education which means that the school budget bill will have to be decided in may so really we're just at a standpoint right now and we will wait to see what happens during the veto session in may but we will continue to be engaged in that conversation the next one you may have heard about house bill 2039 which is a civics test in financial literacy and here are some key points this past both the house and the senate and it requires students beginning next school year to take a civics test comprised of 60 questions from the naturalization test you take to be a citizen it requires students beginning in 2022-23 school year to actually pass that in order to graduate as a condition of graduation
084so that was the first part of this the second half of this bill requires schools to develop a financial literacy course before 2024 and then for students beginning in 2024 they would need to pass a financial literacy course as a condition of graduation so where this is at right now is that the senate passed it the house passed it um there were differences and they've come together so it's it's a common bill now and that has been sent to the governor um so we're just kind of watching and see to see how that will play out but those are the facts around that bill another bill that uh i've gotten some questions on was the back to school act and this is senate bill 63. this was the back to school act to require school
085districts to provide full a full-time in-person option for students beginning by march 31st for this school year only so this one went back and forth and it's for this school year only the house passed at the senate passed it and the governor did sign that on april 5th that won't affect us we're already back in but i did just want to make point that out because i've gotten a couple questions on that and then this last one the emergency management bill senate bill 40 which we've talked a lot about a couple things on this one i put this definition up here because we've been focused rightly so on how this affects schools but there are a lot of other entities in here that this affects as well so it talks in there about city and
086county government talks about community college technical colleges but there are all of those different entities that are involved that did pass the house past the senate the government signed it on march 24th it became law on march 25th some things around senate bill 40 it gives local boards of education the sole authority to take action in response to covet 19 state of disaster related to school closures learning modes and mitigation efforts employees students and parents of students unhappy with the policy of the board related to the cope at 19 may request a hearing the hearing must be held within 72 hours and the board must issue a decision within seven days of the hearing the complaint may appeal the ruling to the district court within 30 days again the district court must hear the case
087within 72 hours issue a decision within seven days of a hearing uh policy of the board must be ter narrowly tailored to respond to the state of disaster emergency and use the least restrictive means that's that's kind of our litmus test all hearings and meetings related to senate bill 40 have to be open that's listed specifically in the bill and then finally the board may adopt emergency rules of order to facilitate hearings which i think you're going to talk about in just a minute but those are just some key points around senate bill 40. we again continue to keep information on our district website and we also have information there about senate bill 40 and the hearings we've had around that so with that i'm happy to answer any questions i actually have a couple
088questions about the civics test and the financial literacy course um those are going to be time consuming and cost some money surely this is not an unfounded unfunded mandate right they're increasing our allotment of funds from the state to provide this new course and to provide the test no not that i know of not that you know okay then this new financial literacy course we're going to have to obviously develop it and provide it but i know from having kids go through the school district it's very tight to fit in a lot of the requirements that we have for graduation how how will this impact what the blue valley requirements are for graduation if at all i think that if this passes this will be a topic with our cni committee and eventually to this
089full board next year because we would look at our graduation requirements and see where we could entertain this because i agree we would i don't think we would want to make it 24 and a half credits to graduate we we would look and see what we could massage okay thank you a quick question here too and and going back to the civics test now that is not the intent is not to have a third party i've heard out there in the community that you know you a district would be administering a third party a test we pay for outside of the district have there been any parameters set up there's nothing set up so basically we could create our own civics test the only yeah the only points that have been identified to this point
090are that they would be comprised of questions from that naturalization test okay um and then um just to just to confirm again you did say that it needs to be administered by next year but the year after you would actually have to pass it correctly so next year's kind of like a you know just take it yep okay see yeah okay yes that's my understanding at this point thank you it's always helpful uh just in the way you explain it i think it's very digestible so thank you so to transition to our next agenda item it's related to senate bill 40. and um dr merrigan talked about you know emergency uh procedures related to that so dr doctor yeah melissa will walk us through that this evening yes so dr merrigan uh already talked to
091you in some detail about senate bill 40 and uh also said that senate bill 40 uh allows the board to pass emergency procedure rules of procedure for these hearings this is our first regularly scheduled board meeting since senate bill 40 was passed and signed by governor kelly and so we come to you today with some proposed procedures for conducting those hearings our procedures include establishing information to be provided with a request for hearing would also provide for a hearing officer format for the hearings procedures for the hearing officer to present findings and recommendations to you also provides for some time limits in the hearing so that we can have an efficient and well-run organized hearing um and then provide some time limits like the seven days for you to render a decision on the hearing
092they're fairly basic but if you have any questions i'm here to answer them one thing i was hoping you could clarify is just there wasn't much guidance given if you could just talk a little bit about we had to set a lot of this ourselves and that's allowable as for each is for a district to to define it like this or define it how they would like to proceed yes and in my opinion the bill is vague there is not a lot of guidance for you in that bill other than the time constraints that you are under the bill has specifically expressly excuse me i've given you authority to pass your own rules of procedure including consolidating uh requests similar similar requests and so yes i do believe that the bill is giving you the
093economy autonomy to um develop and adopt rules of procedure and and yes i'll reiterate it was it's pretty vague okay thank you so just to confirm though the kind of the path that we followed though was was what you would maybe in a civil hearing um is kind of what what kind of was the guideline that we used so jody our rules are a little um less formal than in a civil hearing typically very often in our district hearings parents come without lawyers and in order to be fair to our employees and students and parents who don't have representation we don't typically follow the rules of evidence as you would in a courtroom setting but we've tried i've tried to insert rules just for orderly and efficient running of the hearing also included within these
094procedures are some of the rules that were set out in the johnson county new administrative orders around these hearings so it was very similar to what we do um with a disciplinary hearing correct such as that yes correct except that it said that it needed to be in an open meeting which a disciplinary one would never be yes so that is a very unique aspect of senate bill 40 is it requires our hearings to be held in an open hearing form and also for your board meetings where we would discuss these hearings and where you would make decisions about these hearings also has to be done in open forum and i'm just curious since since we did not prepare for for this budgetarily right so monetarily um how much you know ballpark have we spent
095maybe thus far and and where is this funding coming from within our budget um so as far as the way we've set up our hearings the reason why we're having a hearing officer run these hearings is one with a 72 hour limit of time to hold these hearings it's not feasible to gather all seven board members under proper uh open meetings notices to hold these hearings therefore we are engaging an outside hearing officer somebody who is not affiliated with the district who is impartial and is new to our i mean would be new to this process with our district i believe that is the fairest way to do this it it does involve paying that hearing officer a fee i don't yet have a fee bill from the hearing officer for the recent hearing we
096had last week i i would estimate that we're probably spending two three thousand dollars a hearing um and to answer your question of where that comes it comes straight out of general education funding and i think another part of that jody is time you know we we need dr american to play superintendent and educate our kids and 20 other things and so a lot of this is just as it is time from yourself and staff and dr american and the full team and that's a that's a monetary net loss as well yeah it is like i said i think it's the fairest most impartial process is to have an outside hearing officer come in and make recommendations to you and these are hearing officers who are equipped skilled and experienced in running hearings and the
097use of a hearing officer is consistent with other districts in johnson county i think based off your research um so i do know other districts are using hearing officers as well okay thank you did you have support i i actually just would like to say thank you your level of professionalism and um consultation to us guidance to us has been exceptional and i really appreciate that especially considering the stress and the time crunch that you were under so thank you for as always providing a sound voice for reason for us in order to do our jobs i really do appreciate it thank you thank you stacy i i appreciate you all and i know that this has been a very quick and unexpected new process for us regarding the hearing officer i just want to
098it just seems to me that the school board made the policy that's being questioned and i think you're absolutely right that it's more fair to have an impartial ear that has the opportunity to listen to both sides of the argument than simply having the seven of us who excuse me who who um set the policy i i just want to thank you for that counsel i we had some discussion and i might have been wrong no i i i truly believe this is the best process well i i agree thank you thank you mike can i answer any more questions for you i don't think so if not you have procedures in front of you and yes so we have provided the procedures um any additional questions for melissa just about the document with the
099procedures okay so i will call for a motion to prove to approve the procedures as presented i move that the board of education adopt the rules of procedure as presented in accordance with senate bill 40. motion by stacy second by michelle all those in favor please raise your right hand motion passes 7-0 thank you guys and that is it for tonight um do i have a motion to adjourn the meeting i moved at the april 12th regular board of education meeting be adjourned all right motion by stacy second by tom all those in favor raise your right hand and our meeting has been adjourned um and happy birthday to christy whose birthday has passed and uh melissa's coming up on the 23rd so that's exciting and patrick yours is in meg yay anymore yeah really
100thank you everyone you
