001Austin Jared here. Chris Hansen here. AZ Molina >> here. Christine Newman >> here. >> Cassandra Sanain >> here. >> Whitney >> here. >> Chris Rinhart >> here. All right, we'll stand for the flag salute 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. >> All right, start with a time of open forum. Doesn't think we have anybody for open forum. We'll move on to approval of the agenda. We do have one amendment on number 11. Uh changing that to an action item. I'll make that motion. >> Thanks, Marlene. All those in favor or no, I guess we need a second. Sorry. >> Thanks, Cassandra. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed? Motion
002carries unanimously. All right, we'll move on to the consent calendar. Uh in the packet there are meeting minutes from the April 13th meeting and then the special meeting on May 7th. Uh anything special or any questions on those? If not, we'll move on to payment of the bills. Is there any? >> Nothing was brought to mind. >> No questions. We'll move on to transfers. >> No transfers. >> And no transfers. So, I'd look for a motion to approve the consent calendar. >> I'll make that motion. >> Thanks, AC. >> Oh, >> Christine. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> Motion carries. All right, we'll move on to number seven. Uh, communications. Nothing. >> Nope. Sorry. >> Nope. Okay. >> I even have my note there to say nothing. >> Uh, all
003right then. Keep moving on. We'll move on to number eight, reports. Smoky Hill, we have our meeting on this Thursday, so I don't have anything new to report there yet. I'll be next time. Uh, special ed co-op. >> It was a very short meeting, just business as usual. Nothing in particular um for any big discussions or decisions that we had to make. So, >> all right. Thanks, Azy. Uh, board of education member reports. Uh, the only thing I have is I the leadership training that I'm doing. We visited uh the Columbus school district and Fredonia last uh I guess it was a couple weeks ago now. Uh and spend a half day in each district and uh it's just interesting to see what they're doing and and see some of the cool stuff they have
004going on and and then also just to see some of the things that they're doing that we're doing similar things. Uh so that uh kind of consensus that maybe we're we're doing some good things too. Uh there was a they did have uh one of the cool things that I got to see was they had a hydroponics uh container that they uh received from a there's a company in Pittsburgh that got a grant to build them. And so a bunch of the schools down in the southeast corner have them. And uh they grow all the lettuce, cilantro, and uh like parsley and some other herbs for their uh high school uh cafeteria. So all the lettuce and stuff stuff comes from that that particular class uh in the FFA program. Uh, so it's pretty cool
005to see they had uh they had kind of scaled down because they were getting ready for summer, so they didn't have a ton of stuff growing in there, but just getting to walk around in there and see how it was built. It was pretty it was pretty neat setup and uh a pretty neat pretty neat deal. So that's all I have there. Move on to principal reports. Our preschool screening was held last week and we had 29 three-year-olds screened. So, I think that was two more than what I had reported last month to you. Um, we're wrapping up all of our year end of the year activities. We've had a ton of field trips, but they've been fun. I attended one today. Uh, tomorrow is our old cardinal track meet beginning at 12 with the
006two field events and then running events will start at 1:30. Thursday, we will have our last all school assembly and I have a special guest coming to talk to students about summer safety, particularly on the streets. So, they're excited about that. And then last, the 2026 Paradise Flats Theater Collective Cardinal Drama Camp registration is open. Um, grades K through 6 will be held June 1st through the 12th from 9 to 11:30. And then third grade through 12th grade will be held June 15th through the 26th from 9 to 11:30 as well. That's it. A few more days and we're done. >> Crazy. >> All right. Thanks. >> Uh for high school, um obviously seniors finished up today. Um my student shout outs will be, you know, our validictorians and saludiatorans. We have two valadictorians, Payton
007Cro and Avery Greit. And then our saludiatorans are Ryland Walmer and and Kaylee Klein. Um, again, we finished everything up with seniors today. Uh, had our walkthroughs, had our our uh our senior prank with the the car the spots, which was okay. you know, they kind of blocked some of the car spots, but you know, it was all in good fun and and uh you know, we were I think everybody was excited and we we got to recognize our seniors for the last time and um we're excited to get them back here and and kind of move them on and and and expect great things from them. Um finals for freshman through juniors, uh that's going to be May 13th will be afternoon finals. May 14th will be morning finals. sports, uh, high school track.
008Uh, we've got MCL at Smith Center on the 14th. Regionals are set. Uh, we, uh, are going to Enman on May 22nd. Uh, the format for that, we've got a really tough regional. Um, but the format, uh, if you, I think it's top five go, but, then they start taking time, so we'll still have a good shot of getting um, a lot of kids in, I think. Uh, baseball and softball, those regionals have been set. Um, the baseball team will be playing in Johnson on Thursday at 5:00 pm. Softball is finishing up tonight and then we'll figure out kind of where we're going. There's a couple places. It just depends on how the games go tonight. Uh, junior high track. We've got uh MCL NCEL Tuesday. So, tomorrow at Hill City, uh we had some
009records that were broken over the last month. Uh the 4x4 improved on their time with Brilan Klein, uh Eli Molina, Weston HL, and Jace Hilders. Uh Kaden Keys broke the Javelin record. Weston Hamill broke the 200 meter hurdle record. And then Ryan Han and Eliza Eliza Rudman broke the PVA records. uh fundraiser requests. We have two uh junior high cheers requesting uh Lane's cookies sales at the end of May, beginning of June. And then the band is asking to do the pup pastry that was approved last time. He was just asking that it expands to he's going to have junior high sale as well. Um he said the last one was pretty successful, so just was trying to open that up a little bit. >> All right. Thanks, superintendent's report. >> I uh several days
010ago was sitting down to make my report and every time I thought of something, I'm like, "Oh, I'm going to share about that. Well, that's a board item. That's agenda item." Like, "Oh, I'm going to share about this. Oh, well that's item number 12." Oh. So, as I kept trying to come up like my board report kind of is our meeting tonight, I guess a lot of things. Uh, so I didn't really necessarily want to just repeat and say the same thing over, but a few more of the things I will share that um make sure to let you know if u when Clayton Kelly came on uh for that special board meeting there um on the 7th uh you may have caught that he had mentioned that I will be taking part in a
011S&P global ratings call. And so I've I've got the questions here. I mean it's two pages, two not two and a half pages or whatever of everything covering from uh debt liabilities, uh local economy, um finances. I even noticed back here there's even a question about has there been any successful cyber attacks within the district in recent history? And so they are really they're going to kind of put me through the grind a little bit. So I'm I'm preparing for that. That is on uh Wednesday, this Wednesday, May 13th at 1 o'clock. So, I'll be ready for that. But that'll be that'll be quite a quite an experience there. Um, as Mr. Han mentioned, too, that of course today it was uh it was very cool to see our seniors take the walk through the
012hallways and have the elementary kids, you know, celebrate them. So, that was very cool. And then, of course, the the awards assembly and things that we're able to to just celebrate all the all the scholarships and all the awards that our our seniors are going to be acknowledged for and getting. So, we're we're we're gearing up, of course, for for both the eighth grade promotion and the and the senior graduation uh the end of the year. But, um and then I also I also wanted to share it was uh what was that last Thursday? I'm trying to think. Is that last I'm trying to think. Thursday, we had a pretty significant water issue here in the building. Uh we unfortunately had a waterline bust in the ceiling just down the hall here which would be
013Lindsay McKinnon's. She's the school psych. It was it'd be in her office and it was it was more water than we typically see. I mean usually if a toilet overflows or something like that I mean yes we we can have some water mess but this was this was far more than a than a to overflow. Um, so thankfully, I mean, a huge shout out to, you know, Tyler, of course, Tyler's, he's running solo right now with, uh, with Mr. Dave out with his his surgery and stuff, but of course, you know, Dave, he couldn't help himself. He still had to show up. We're like, Dave, what are you doing here? But, uh, I mean, Tyler jumped in. Uh Susan jumped in. Our our janitorial staff, Tom Tom was kneedeep in water and not really maybe
014knee deep in water, but he's in sloshing around in water and you know he's grabbing machines and I mean everybody that was involved in and getting control of that. I'm just very thankful for their efforts. And um I was able to call Preston Warner and he was able to send his his uh right-hand man up to help us and and we were getting water shut off. And um I mean within just a matter of a couple hours, not only did we have the the water leak stopped, we had our I mean we were troubleshooting the boys bathroom sink, the water fountain upstairs, we had all kinds of, you know, directions to trying to figure out where the water was coming from and through all that. We had the toilets working, the sinks working, the water
015fountains. We had all that within just a couple hours. So, we went from mass chaos to uh we were we had things kind of back in order pretty quickly just thanks to the effort that of everybody who jumped in and just went above and beyond to to get us in line. So, I'm thankful for that. But, we we currently still I just told the the janitors just to leave leave the furniture and things out of the room for now. We're still we're still running fans and and dehumidifiers just trying to pull as much moisture stuff out as we can. Uh obviously the the carpet got pretty soaked and so I think it's just a matter I think probably it'd be a good idea to maybe have Vitamins just come and take a look at it
016and see if there's see if the carpet's going to be fine or if we just need to think about I don't to be honest with you with the glue and the adhesive that they put it down. I don't I don't know if if it's able to withstand that kind of water. So, you know, it's as if you walk in there right now and look at it, you probably would have never guessed that it was completely soaked. I mean, we've it's been it's dried up pretty well, but I think I'll still just get some other eyes on it that kind of know what they're what they're looking for and things like that. So, it was quite the quite the start and it started like at 8:04 that morning was when we were getting the getting the
017notification that water was coming through the ceiling. And so, it started off our day on quite an interesting note. So, If something like that had to happen, I'm just glad it was on a week day though, >> right? Instead of first thing Saturday morning. >> Yeah. >> And then it's or after people walk out at the end of the day. >> We talked about that. That that's probably about the one silver lining of the whole thing was that we were actually here and >> the end of the year. >> Yeah. So >> anyway, we're we're in a much better place now. We just got some we got some people using some different spaces for some office work throughout, you know, just for getting us through the time we have left. So, >> we'll make it
018we'll get we'll get to the end. >> Okay, that's all I got. >> All right, then we'll move on to uh leading to a lifetime of success. Okay. So, um, our topic I would like to share and talk to us a little bit about uh, this evening is the MTSS, multi-ter systems of supports. And I'm going to I'm looking over here to my building principles. I may look over here at any time. Feel free to jump in and share building principles. Okay. Uh so just real quick uh Kansas multi-ter systems of supports and alignment is a set of evidence-based practices implemented across the system to meet the needs of all learners. The Kansas NTSS and alignment builds a system of prevention, early intervention and supports to ensure that all students are learning from the instruction.
019That's that's the state's definition I guess of MTSS. I uh had to kind of do some some reflecting and thinking back. I thought it was a little bit earlier than this, but everything I came across mentioned that Kansas uh teachers kind of first learned about MTSS. Mrs. Dobson, you want to take a guess at maybe what year that may have been? >> 18. >> Oh, really? 2018? I'll go back further. >> 2009. >> Yeah. So, so in 2009, sorry, Mrs. Doppson, I'm throwing. >> Um, so in 2009, uh, like I said, this is we were kind of getting our first teachers and everybody across the state where we were understanding or learning along with everybody else what what MTSS was all about. So this emblem or this logo uh this you couldn't hardly get anything
020from the state without seeing this logo you know printed or stamped on it somewhere shape or form and still today we still see it you know every once in a while but just to start off from the outside and kind of work our way in you can see that there's those three um I don't know outside parameters of professional development empowering culture and leadership and so it's just the idea that you know a strong functional school system that has the foundation of those three components, you know, probably some good things are happening. Um, obviously, you know, professional development to just continue our our learning uh the the culture that we, you know, each and every district across the state, you know, empas emphasizes within their building and of course strong leadership. And then if you
021continue to work in if you have those three components and then you also add in the ingredients of instruction, curriculum and assessment. Again, we are those are all things that really uh pull pull the educational system together. Uh you know, we even today uh if you uh the the the more stronger topics I guess I feel like I'm hearing a lot coming from KSC right now or it's HQIM, high quality instructional materials. That all goes back again are making sure are all schools implementing um evidence-based curriculum. Are we using what the the best, you know, curriculum that's out there? Is it is it database? Is it is it proven to to meet results or make results? Uh, of course, we want our teachers to provide high quality instruction. And then that third with that assessment
022is we we and we do we need to make sure that we are tracking students progress and making sure that they are progressing through you know through the curriculum and things. So then when you get to that middle triangle and you see the all summer few, you'll see here in a little bit why that makes a little bit more sense. It's just the idea that when it says that all all students, regardless of where they're at, you know, in their abilities, all students need to be uh ex exposed to the core curriculum. You know, there's data out there and and there's evidence out there that just shows again that students in a core classroom or in a integrated in the classroom, they gain a lot of, you know, that they learn a lot when they're
023exposed to that that curriculum. There are then of course there are some uh that are going to need a little bit more extra interventions. U maybe they you know there might be a few skills here or there that they struggle with and so we need to be able to identify those skills. we need to be able to provide those interventions as mentioned in the you know the definition um to help those kiddos you know just again whether it's learn learn that specific skill uh whatever it may be and then there's going to be there's going to be a few uh where perhaps these might be the kiddos that could be you know maybe one maybe two grade levels behind they just they they need that more intensive support you know to help get them through
024so that's what that all sum and You mean if you kind of think about you'll see here in a little bit the the triangle and the pyramid of of kind of what that looks like. Mrs. Dobson, Mr. Han, is that so far so good? >> Anything bad to add? Okay. So, with the idea of that triangle then when when the KSD when they we were we were learning about all things the multi-ter systems of support. This is the goal that they presented with this. And you'll see that there's that T1, T2, and T3. So, that stands for tier one, tier two, and tier three. The goal is we want all of our students or we want 80% of our students to fall in that tier one level. They're at grade level. They're performing well. You
025know, they're moving through the curriculum. They're progressing well. you know, when it comes to their, you know, just to throw a snapshot out there, if if they're at their middle of their third grade year and it's showing that they're right right at third grade reading level, you know, that's that's where we want them to be. uh 15% again the goal is to and the state understands that there's approximately going to meet mail but 15% of the students in any given particular class might need that little extra help and support to provide those interventions and help them through some of those skills and then the littlest 5% again we're talking about the more intense you know level of of supports okay so that's the goal that's what the Kansas MTSS goal is So, what I what
026I've done is I just simply grabbed a a single snapshot of and of some district reading scores for us here at Planeville. Okay, so this is preK12 taking all of us in together as a district. Our winter reading, you can see for our tier one, we were at 53.9, 22.8, 23.1. So keep in mind this is just this is just a single snapshot. We can we've got data that we can go in individual classes. We can look at second grade fall. We can look at fourth grade spring. We can look at fifth grade winter. We can you know we've we've got the data to show where our kids are at. So along with the MTSS system, we also have what's called, and I'm sure those of you that you know, if you've got parents, of
027course, in the in the school school system, there's we have the FastBridge um assessment. And so we are tracking kids. We're giving the uh the FastBridge assessments fall, winter, and spring, three different times throughout the year. And we're tracking and see where where they're at. And of course, we're we collect that data. And if we have students, for instance, if we have some winter reading data that shows that we are, you know, we've got more than that 15% in the tier two, you know, it just shows that we've we got some work to do. Okay, so um what's what do we do next, right? What's the next step? So, what we are doing is this is our elementary line schedule for this year. And I just simply I highlighted you can see I know there's
028a lot of fine print that you're trying to make sense of all that but what I just simply wanted to highlight was for all of our classrooms K through six and actually this goes we even have MTSS for our junior high and high school. Uh but I just wanted to illustrate with our elementary line schedule. You can see we have times built into their day where the tier 2 so I can kind of go back and say okay so we've got this 22.8% 8% in tier 2. We're taking those students and you know it looks like at I can't see that from at 8:30 in the morning uh we have fourth grade students who are heading to our MTSS classroom and that's actually just down the hallway here and and Mrs. Bobc is the lead
029on that. We have two MTSS um intervention teachers also that that are in there. And you can see then every grade level has their designated time to go to the MTSS classroom and they are working on specific skills to help them progress and and grow in their you know where their phenomic awareness and reading all kinds of different different things there. The you can see the the little 95 logo. So 95% group, this is a curriculum that's named after the the foundational goal that 95% or more of all students can learn to read when provided with high quality um explicit and structured literacy instruction. The name reflects the company's commitment to enabling educators to reach almost every student through the evidence-based reading intervention in core instruction. So they're they've been around and and 95 they
030of course with their obviously with their their goal of 95% of all students that's they've named the curriculum 95 they're committed to that kind of a goal. So >> um we have over the years the other thing I wanted to share with this is you know like I said MTSS has been around for a while um and over the years as a district and I can specifically you know talk to the elementary as you know for the elementary building of course we've we've done a number of different things uh we used I can remember a line schedule where the MTSS period was all like at I think it was like at one o'clock and everybody K through When we hit 1:00 in the afternoon, everybody just stopped what they're doing. Everybody was doing MTSS at
031that same time. And it was it was just the expectation that okay, like math and reading and all the other core things that you're doing, we're pausing. We're going to help, you know, we're going to break up into the tier one, tier two, and tier three groups. We're going to work on these interventions and do that. Uh the challenge with that, of course, is that uh it requires a lot of extra hands on deck. It requires, you know, having everybody at a certain place at a certain time. And of course, you know, schedules can get tricky, even though it may look nice and neat that everybody's doing at one o'clock. You know, as we all know, trying to be at any one place right at one o'clock can always be a challenge. U so, you
032know, again, we've we had a year where you can kind of see like with our lunch schedule, you know, we have K three kind of, you know, they're all together at one time and then the four six does theirs later on. It wasn't all that long ago that kind of looked very similar to the the MTSS schedule. Our early our early grade levels were doing an MTSS time together and then our upstairs older kids were doing an MTS time group together. I mean, we've we've changed our our system and our strategy a number of times throughout the year. The challenges was is that a lot of this was um you know it was just it was extra falling on the the lap of our classroom teachers and you know they are doing phenomenal jobs in
033the classroom and working hard to get through the core curriculums and all the things they're doing there and then to add this was it's just it's a lot um and you know again it just we weren't quite seeing the maybe the growth and the changes that we we knew we wanted and I will also say you know Um the teachers very much I mean they pointed out to me and I I feel like I learned very quickly that you know they the teachers know that time is of essence and you know they don't like to lose time they don't like time to be wasted and then you know when you're trying to implement this whole schedule and you know you're waiting on others to come and and do all these things time is lost they
034didn't like that I understand so we are in year three this of implementing the 95% group where we have Mrs. Bobbeck uh leading leading the charge, I guess you could say, with our MTSS room with the MTSS intervention teachers in there. And with this type of a schedule and and like I said, we're pulling just those tier 2 kids to go in and get this extra help, it seems like we have we've definitely found a a much stronger system. Um questions or anything so far seem make a little bit more sense. So then with that being shared, uh the last thing I wanted to point out and I think to me I think this is this is pretty cool. So um this is K6 again I'm throwing some snapshot data out there your K6 tier
0352 growth data and this is from 2025 what Mrs. Bobc is still working on this year's data. So this is last year's we took uh the tier 2 skill proficiency. So just thinking of those students that were going to that MTSS classroom the pre-EST 87.1 and keep in mind kind of be thinking about that 95% number right that we shared. So we are 87.1. So that was the pre-EST. We take them through the curriculum. We're doing all the work and then our post test number we landed that last year 94. We were so close, Mrs. Bobc. We talked about I mean we were and it was like 94 I think 0.1 point one or something you know but it was we were but just to see that how we went from 87 to 94 I
036mean it definitely showed that we were making huge huge strides in in growth. So you know I I share that I really do that and that's the thing is the MTSS system um districts across the state I mean everybody's doing things a little bit differently. Uh some schools have found a system and they probably some of them may have stayed committed to it for many years over. We have been one that we've we've shifted and kind of changed over the years until we've you know we found I think you know for for us to be kind of running the same system now for three years is pretty solid for us. I mean we're and and this is just for reading. That's the other thing is what we're we talk about too is you know we
037would like to incorporate system where we can provide that same supports for for math right but um when you look at the schedule it's it's full there's just we need another extra you know however many hours in the day and days in the month and everything else but um anyway I I I share that I mean I I think again when you look at the effort of what our classroom teachers are I mean, you look at the effort of what Mrs. Bobc's doing with our MTSS um intervention team. I mean, we're we're doing good things for with kids. I think for sure, principles, anything to to add in there? >> Okay. Okay. So, that's my MTSS. We will we'll continue as we'll just, you know, we will collect the data and we'll keep an eye
038on tracking kids and making sure they're moving forward. And as soon as we see one that maybe's need that support, we'll get on it. So, >> thank you for letting me share that. >> All right. If there's no questions, I'd move on uh look for a motion to approve reports. >> Motion. >> Thanks, Jared. >> Second. >> Thanks, A. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed? Motion carries. All right, we'll move on to item number nine, FCCLA presentation and travel request. We have a back our annual come to the board meeting. Um I'm not going to say too much besides I'll just brag on them a little bit before they get in because they're mature enough and good enough to handle it on their own. But um this is Reed and Owen
039Reed Stamper Owen Brewster. Um they actually have done a lot this year. Uh both of them uh ran for district officer um which is a representative of the nine schools in our district B for FCCLA. So it's beyond Plainville. Um Owen is our VP of star events and Reed is the district president this year. So I'm really proud of them for stepping up. Um and we're voting for chapter officers tomorrow morning at breakfast time. But in the meantime, um they would like to share a little bit about their presentations, what's going on, and I'll let them take the show. So, um all right. So, I did a level three job interview. Level three being juniors and seniors. Um my job interview was applying for a job at Midland Marketing as a summer rover, which is
040basically a farm hand. But in my book, I have my all all my examples of skills, what the job is like, all the things I've done. I'll pass that around if you guys want to see it. So, my um so I did a career investigation over an Air Force fighter pilot. I did self assessments about my IQ and uh learning styles. I researched about duties and hazards. I also interviewed Captain High. Um, and then I created a whole timeline from now until to get to where I want to be. So, >> so at state, um, I placed first in my division and he placed third. So yeah, we both qualified for nationals and nationals is in Washington DC this year from July 5th to the 10th. >> So yeah, >> we're asking permission >> and
041we're asking permission to attend. >> Ask them any questions. Um, as you can see with SECLA, it really provides students with skills that are going to help them in their future and it takes extra for these kids to step up and do these projects. Um, both of them did these in their spare time. um mostly SIP a few like weekends that they've come in and um just they both came in and said this is what I want to do and I'm like great we're going to do it and um so I'm just really proud of them because they have to go up and do um oh uh reads is a 20 minute interview speech and then >> the little note cards in the front of their speech and then I get job interview questions like
042a typical >> Mhm. Yeah. And then Owens is a 10-minute speech and so hopefully at nationals we're going to get those memorized. >> Let us go. >> So we're really hoping Oh, um fundraisers. They have a couple of fundraisers. I think one of them got approved or was on the list here a while ago and um and so they're doing that and um SECLA kind of has its own fundraiser with the >> snack check and so um yeah, that's what we're looking at. Yep. >> Any questions, please? >> Exciting. >> I just When was it? Uh, Mrs. Stamper when we were That was at the >> We were in Stockton. >> Yes. You judge for districts. >> They had to go to districts to qualify. Then they qualified for state and then at state they
043qualify for nationals. So, they've been through quite a few steps before this. >> Yeah. I was just going to add that that was really my first opportunity to I mean yes I've been hearing and knowing you guys doing all your projects but for me to go and attend and see that be a part of the judging and the opportunity and I didn't get the opportunity to see these guys but the ones that I did judge it was it was eye opening that you can tell kids put a lot of time and and energy into >> we are so glad you came to do that because I think it is um if you ever want an opportunity to see some really amazing kids doing some really great things. Positive. I know we often hear a lot
044of negative, but this is a really positive part of um school and high school. I just >> come be a judge. We're always looking for judges. >> So, on every level, district and state. >> State's always in Witchah. So, >> and you guys attended uh or was it Orlando last year? >> Yes, >> we have. >> And the year before that, Seattle. Yeah. And then the year before that, Denver, right? Denver, Seattle, and now it's Orlando, and then DC. >> Yeah. Um, and I tell all the kids like, "Owen is just starting to see like the fun of it." And he said to me, "Why did I wait this long?" I'm like, "I don't know." >> Um, and nationals is like so much fun. It's like meeting all of the kids that are like in
045>> this is my uh third time going to nationals. So the past two years I went with my brother. Him and I kind of partnered. >> But yeah, this is my third time going. It's always been really fun. You meet a lot of great people, see a lot of great projects. So >> connections. >> It's just a really great deal. I do not force my kid. I promise you, you do not do his work for him. It probably looks like that. I don't know. But he couldn't get up there and qualify and get first if I did his work. I'm just putting that out there. I always feel that way. >> And Owen is proof of that. I've taken other kids, not just mine. So, >> but you know, so I'm really excited um to
046bring these boys up to DC. It is right after the 250th anniversary. The nice thing about it is FCCLA Nationals pays for security. We um the hotel that we have if you approve I'm not saying we have selected rooms but if you approve of us um it is connected to the convention center. So um in the long run we won't have to wander through. Although I know like if you do approve us to go um we've gotten a tour of the White House scheduled. We've talked to our senators. They've gotten us a tour of the White House and the um Supreme Court. I didn't tell you that yet because I just got that. Yeah. Um the Supreme Court. So, um >> it'll be fun. It'll be great. Um it's a really good learning curve. A
047lot of kids don't get to go out and see these places. So, I know one day and and the Kansas event is to take a boat down the PTOAC and see all of the um memorial things. >> Yeah, it'll be >> and then he if Please approve us. He's a president. No. >> Oh, yeah. I have to. >> He has to go. They actually pay $200 worth of his to attend because he'll have duties at nationals >> um for being a district president. And then um Owen's gonna just come along and trade pens. >> So that's what our goal is. >> I probably talked too much. Do you need to talk? >> So >> it's exciting. >> That's very exciting. And yeah, >> very lucky to have you guys represent us because I think you're
048good good students >> overall as well as the hard work that you both have put into it. So >> yeah, these both look really well put together. >> Very professional looking. >> Do you have different projects every year you went or is it the same >> for me career type things? >> So my first year I did uh public policy advocate the safe routes to school. I was actually involved with that one. >> Gotcha. >> Um and then my second one was the whole bus. It was another public policy advocate but it was the whole bus. >> Gotcha. thing. So, that was that was my brother and I along with uh some help from Herby and stuff. So, yeah. >> And wasn't it that >> the guy who was selling us the bus, he liked
049your presentation, he asked if he could like >> copy like your ideas. >> Yes. Yeah. He told him if they ever needed a job, they would have a job called up cuz he was so impressed with their folder. >> I don't know about that. I don't know about that. And both these boys have very high goals. So we're they're both looking at um can I can I say it? They're both looking for military service and maybe academy. So they have a long road ahead of them. And >> that's awesome. >> So I'm really they're the >> this is what you should be proud of as playing is >> definitely kids like us. So >> I watched Thank you. Thank you. >> So, yeah, if you're just needing permission to travel out of state, um I
050would make that motion to approve for you to >> go and cover, you know, use a district vehicle if you need it to get to the airport. I mean, >> I don't know if that's part of your >> Yeah, that would be great because >> request or not. >> We would like to avoid Kansas City and FIFA. Am I saying that right going on? Yeah. So, we're gonna fly out of Witchaw. >> Good idea. >> I have tickets. >> Good idea. >> I don't know. I'm >> just not prepared. >> It's coming up. Yeah, >> there's insurance. >> You're thinking that's where you're going to go. >> I'm just hoping. Yeah, >> I think you should had your book all planned out and showed it. So, you sure had your book all planned out and
051should >> Yeah. Yeah. No, I I but I tend to talk too much, so >> Well, I appreciate all the extra information and just any comments on it. So, >> Yeah. Well, I'll second the motion. Make the motion. >> Okay. >> All right. It's been moved and seconded. >> Thank you guys for the presentation and and good luck and >> congratulations. >> Have fun and thanks for representing us on the district level as well. They made the stage. They You forgot to tell them that last year >> they made the stage at National which is a really big deal. >> Yeah. The bus project. >> Cool. >> They have 10,000 attendees and top 10. So >> yeah. >> Okay. So we want to see a picture of you on stage. >> I have keep my
052fingers crossed. >> It's impressive. So >> all right. So >> yeah. Good job. >> Thank you. >> All those all those in favor say I. >> I. I. I >> opposed. Motion carries. Thanks, guys. >> Thank you so much. Appreciate it. >> Be safe and be very safe. They'll probably >> There you go. Good body. >> At least get them. >> Liz, what is it? What are the dates again? You're going >> July 5th through 10th. >> 5th through 10th. >> I'm not going to say it's already missed the UFC fights down there. >> Miss the UFC fight. >> YEAH. YEAH, THEY'RE NOT GETTING THE WHITE House during that time. We tried that, too. But I think because the 250th, it's a lot going on. So, we were lucky to >> do the Supreme Court
053and Capitol building. So, good. >> That'll be cool. >> And uh airplanes. We're going to look at airplanes. >> There you go. >> So, thank you guys for >> congratulations. >> Thank you. All right, we'll move on to discussion of the building selection committee. >> Well, that item I I had here, but we we we did talk about that at the the May 7th meeting. I I guess I just left it on there. I didn't know if you guys had any more questions or I I did realize that Vince was going to go in quite as much detail as he did, which I was glad he I'm glad he did. I mean, it's better to hear it from him than than from me, but I would have just left it on there if you guys
054had any other questions or comments that you wanted to cover >> or if there's something between now and then just to reach out. >> Yep. >> Yeah. But >> and that would be the the selection committee for choosing the uh the contractor if we approve. Yeah. >> But we really can't do that until after we approve it at that hearing before the next meeting. So, >> Right. Right. >> Yeah. Remember, we set the the public hearing just before the the June meeting. So, we'll do that. And >> that's at 6:45. That's at 64. >> I didn't have much more. >> All right. >> Then we'll move on to number 11, Blue Cross Blue Shield, uh behavioral health pathway. Uh I guess I can kind of talk about this. So when we originally wrote the uh
055uh the most recent round of uh Blue Cross and Blue Shield uh pathways. So this is their third uh round of funding. Uh we got as a community got involved in the second round and then we applied again for the third round. And so in that there's five different pathways and when you apply you select uh an you select an area underneath each one of those five different pathways. And so we did this time around we're doing uh trails uh we're doing uh youth physical activity pathway with the wreck. Uh and we're doing uh the behavioral health or uh placemaking in a healthcare setting with the hospital at their mental health facility downtown that they're working on. Uh and then we are doing some work with the food pantry as well as this uh behavioral
056health uh pathway. And the idea behind that was uh focusing on uh families with school age children and just awareness. Uh I'm trying to think it talks a little bit in here about some of the things that you can do with the uh with the funds. So, it's a it's a $15,000 non-competitive grant, and we can use the money for uh evidence-based training uh for organizations, community members, so for this, so say for the school staff, those kinds of things. Uh creating stigma reduction campaigns, exploring uh different care models. Uh and those are kind of some of the broad areas that you can use the funding, but it's a non-competitive grant. Uh we just have to submit to them an implementation plan of how we're going to use the funds. And so we have uh
057partnered with uh the Rooks County Health Center. Uh right now with the partners we have is the Rooks County Health Center and then the Great Plains Mental Health Coalition. And so they've done some work recently uh showing like some videos, some movie presentations they did uh and as well they have some other other work that they've done in that area. But that's kind of their area of focus is uh mental health awareness and and that kind of stuff. Uh and basically tonight what we're asking for is a resolution that authorizes the superintendent to uh sign on behalf of the school district. Uh we would be uh the anchor. So we would receive the funding and then we would work with those other uh organizations. Uh and and it doesn't have to be limited to just
058the two that I mentioned. uh we can bring other other groups in that are doing work in that area as as needed. Uh and the idea behind it is to try and create a coalition between multiple organizations and uh to sustain the work for five years is the commitment. Uh and it's not necessarily and so the the $15,000 can be spent over multiple years. uh we have uh at least two years after this December uh to spend those funds uh but we can we can even take it out even further if needed uh to expend those funds uh and but it's just an agreement for th organ the the organizations that are collaborating on this uh it's a commitment to meet once a quarter for the next five years uh and just to keep working
059towards uh whatever that we don't have the implementation plan yet uh but whatever that project and plan is it's to sustain that for five years of consistency basically. Uh so yeah, it's basically tonight it's just in order to sign all the paperwork with Blue Cross and Blue Shield, it's just to authorize Chris uh to be the the designated person to to sign those documents that way because there's they have a lot of a lot of the policy stuff we already have because like some of the policies they require and their minimum requirements are tobacco uh policies which we have no tobacco on campus. because all of those policies are already in place. Uh but there's just like just signing agreements, agreeing to cooperate and work together and those kinds of things. And so instead of
060bringing each one of those documents back uh for board approval, >> it it just seemed uh like a more effective way to to pass this resolution, giving him authority to to uh uh to do that. So it's not the expenditure of any funds, just signing the agreements to to work on this package. So that sum it up. >> Yep. Well, thank you for taking on that on, Chris. >> Well, I I had the opportunity to go with with Chris to Topeka. It's been it's been several weeks ago, but >> almost >> has it been there? Yeah, it's already been Yeah. >> Uh and just the opportunity to to sit and and have those two days to really learn about all things with the the Blue Cross and Blue Shield pathways. I mean, it was it
061was really good. uh you know years past I'd heard Chris and Lisa you know talk about pathways and different you know things like that but hadn't connected the dots that those two days at Topeka really allowed me to make a lot of those connections and then just see further what what that program's about and I I really I'm excited for this just because again it just >> I think it's going to provide some great opportunity again whether it's school and community abroad to you know provide >> provide support for a lot of people I think you you know, if we if we're able to bring in, you know, some programs and different things. So, I think it'd be great >> and just awareness of what's, >> you know, the resources that are out there and
062strengthening that >> uh connection. So, >> yeah, it's been. >> So, I would look for a motion to approve. >> I'll make a motion. >> A thanks, Christine. All those in favor say I. >> I. opposed. Motion carries unanimously. All right. Thanks everybody. I think we have we'll send this around for everybody to sign. >> Yeah. >> That's how I >> Okay. >> If you're okay with that, I guess. >> Nope. Looks good. All right. So, we'll move on to uh item number 12, the MHIT discussion and update. >> So, I shared with you gosh, I I can't remember. I just reached out and I shared with you just some changes that we're making with the with the MHIT the mental health intervention you know program. Uh you know we had as I mentioned we
063we had been in a partnership with High Plains Mental Health for quite a few years and uh just through through conversation with Linda Brockmire behavior health liaison uh we we feel good about making that that change and that transition to to partner up and team up with Josh Tangway and and his team. So the the grant application uh it was actually due April 30th. So we were we were under a a tight timeline to get that done. We we did we got that completed. Um and so we were able to um put down and of course Josh Tenway's um oh I don't want to say program or his it's Western Kansas Therapy Associates is the name of his practice I guess that he that he's a part of. So, we're going to be moving in
064that direction um for next year. The the other thing is, you know, with just the grant, and I wanted you guys to be aware of this. So I did some I kind of did some history and looking back in 2022 and 2023 uh the grant uh provided us 75% of our behavior liaison uh salary and then 25% was then on the district. So that was in 22 and 23. Um 25 and well same for 23 24. I was I was unable to to find exactly what that looked like in 2425 but last or this year 2526 it went from 75% to 65%. So 65% we were able to get you know covered 35% came directly from or was from our budget for next year 26 27 it's completely done a complete flip-flop from the 22
06523 the grant's only going to provide us 25% and then the district responsibility now is 75. Um so it's it's that part I'm not of course excited about. Um, you know, it's the other the other thing about it is is that the other change is that uh let's see, did I let me look here real quick? Yes. Okay. So mental health the pass through funds this year pass through funds that went to High Plains Mental Health was 22,691 and that just went directly to DAM to help you know provide the services that we do for the kids. For next year um it looks like it's only going to be an amount of 5,770. So, not only is it a a cut to how much path through pass through funds would go to the, you know,
066the program, it's also a cut on how much the grants supporting us and with this with our behavior health leaison. I my opinion is I I still feel like the behavior health leaison is still a very beneficial uh piece to what we bring to the school every day. Uh and you know we Chris you know maybe some I can't remember it's been several years ago you know we as a board you know we talked about you know just the importance of that and you know staying committed with with mental health and things like that. Now, of course, I know, you know, things change and, you know, expenses, you know, obviously have to be considered, but um I I guess I would just I very much even though the numbers are going to look very different,
067I I still feel very I mean, I'm excited to see maybe what we can do with partnering up with Josh, you know, and his group next year and providing these services and things and hoping hoping that, you know, legislature, you know, in years to come, we'll see that this truly is a a much needed uh program or you know a support for kids and you know maybe we see maybe we see some change and maybe see those numbers kind of going back to you know where it started off and that's the thing is you know I don't know if I can necessarily see go all the way back to 22 23 but you know 20 23 24 you know something I mean it just um you know mental health has clearly been a a strong
068topic and you know there was there was a lot of support at the state level of providing the the finances for this. Unfortunately, it's just it's taken a swing and it's changed. So, um you know, we'll be we'll be getting a new governor, you know, at some point that I don't know what that impact may be. We'll we'll see. So, really, I guess that was I just wanted to share that too. And I think like I said, I think I've shared some of that just some kind my weekly updates and things like that. But >> any questions or anything? Well, and I guess I'll add uh you know, with us moving forward with with Mr. Tangu next year, we're already having conversations, you know, again, maybe perhaps to to bring his expertise in, you know,
069as far as with this pathway opportunity that we're also, you know, working with. I talked I talked with Mrs. Brockmeer even this afternoon and talked with her about, you know, bringing in the behavior health liaison position to help be a part of that team, too. So that's the thing is there's we have good strong momentum moving forward you know with with all things mental health and things for but but unfortunately the the grant side of things isn't moving in that same direction. So >> I'm so disappointed that that did not remain exact remain to the level of what it had. >> Yeah. You know I >> I'm with you. I mean, you know, at at one time though, we were hearing that maybe funding was just going to be cut completely. That was some very,
070>> you know, we had a week or two where >> it just it was scary. And it was >> there was nothing in there. >> There was nothing. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, we we kind of went through that phase. Yeah. And it changed it changed that they did they put put some towards it. So, it's like, okay, that's better than nothing. put some towards it and then they >> and basically they just it was only open to the schools that already participated. >> So if you were a new school wanting to get into the program, >> you were left out. >> Yeah. It was it was only available uh for the people that that were already in enrolled in the program previously. So but >> yeah, I think it's definitely been a great resource for
071not just for the students but for staff. uh in the building as well from you know conversations that I've had with people uh the staff really appreciates having somebody here uh the first few years uh or the first couple years when it was uh just Josh he was here well he ended up being here more than what we had originally agreed to but he was not here you know every day uh and so when we brought Linda on it was uh Mrs. Brockmeire, it was uh I think a really positive step in the district. So, and I for for Josh also to serve in that same role. He's very familiar with >> with the MHIT program with the behavior health leaison position. I mean, he he walked those steps for us for a while, you
072know, so he's familiar with it now. He just he's on the other side of of the table with you with that the provider piece. So, I think it it really is it's be a good thing for the district and for kids. So, >> yep. All right. There's no no questions or anything. We'll move on to approval of donation. So, we had um a donation of $3,316 >> um for the girls wrestling program. There was a I believe it was a fundraiser that was done where there were some hat sales. I was >> say that one is >> There we go. >> Jar's wearing one. Yeah. So, so anyway, that the uh that fundraiser has been completed and uh we received the check and so just to follow through with our policy, we wanted to make
073sure that that was that was approved. >> All motion. >> All right. Thanks, chair. >> Thanks, Cassandra. Definitely thanks to uh for TJ for >> uh taking that on and that's a good start for for that program. Good start for the next item on the agenda. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries. All right. So, number 14 is uh approval of the high school girls uh wrestling activities account. Yeah. So, just with with this coming to my desk then uh you Jamie and I all the all the wrestling money we just have the one wrestling account. So now now that this was specifically for the girls, we just felt like we we needed to separate that. And we're going to have a a boys and girls wrestling program, I'm sure,
074for many more years to come. So we just it's that time to split it apart and we'll keep things separated and you know, whatever fundraising happens between the two teams, they'll have their own account to go towards. So we just figured it was this was the time to to do that as well. So >> I would make that motion to approve that account. >> Thanks, Marlene. I'll second. Thanks, AZ. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries. All right, we'll move on to number 15. Discussion and approval of new grades uh 3 through six ELA curriculum. >> I think I was gonna be okay to I was going to pass this on to you and let you share a little bit. >> Um so our grades three through six, we were
075up for some new ELA curriculum. So, we spent quite a bit of time this person looking at a variety of things. Um, what we've decided they like the best is into reading. Um, it's evidence-based. It's built on the science of reading. Um, there's some intervention pieces in there as well for them to use in their classroom if needed. Um, one of the biggest things I think that we felt like was important, they're using it across the street. So now we'll be streamlined, you know, grades 3 through 12. So we felt like that that was a big thing. Um it's on the KSD approved curriculum curriculum list. They also included in this is um our teacher training and coaching or support for a year. So we felt like that was beneficial as well. um what we're
076looking at. We'd like to do this um sign on with them for three years. Um trying to think what else. This this was their consensus for sure. Um I feel pretty comfortable with it and the teachers that are going to be teaching it as well did too. So >> makes sense. And that way if some of the teachers have ports already being taught across the street, they can get some feedback. what works, what doesn't work, >> and the language used with the >> that's what the the consistency so >> the terminology that's used in the textbooks and stuff. >> Yeah. So translates >> that was a big selling point for us. The only thing maybe I was going to add if you're noticing the that total sum there. I mean that I don't know what
077you're what you're thinking when you see that, but when you think of you're getting three grades three, four, five, and six, and we're getting four grade levels for that. I mean, really, that that comes out to really not be all that bad. I've seen I've seen higher numbers. >> I thought it was for a year originally. >> Yeah. >> Three years. Yeah, when I originally saw Yeah, but I mean originally when I saw it, I wouldn't have been surprised if that was the annual cost. So >> I thought it was definitely yeah that part of it was and the fact that >> you know it's part of you know this push for literacy is >> uh you know the letters training was you know one of was the first step but now having the the
078high quality material instructional materials to go along with that uh is kind of the the route that the state's pushing for as well as seems to be evidence-based to be the best way to move forward. So, >> so one of the new pieces I guess I'll throw it in there as well. Um I maybe next time I'll I'll pull that up there to show you guys. So there is a really a pretty neat um online resource that superintendents can get on and we can we can go and look we can pull up any curriculum and we can find out it actually provides us a map like what schools in the state of Kansas are using the into reading and you know we can we can see that we can go and see what are the
079top used reading math and science. I mean, just it's really neat to be able to go and just kind of see what's all out there, what other schools are using. Of course, you know, you we can always go and kind of pull up and see, you know, we every school district has their their building report cards and we can, you know, we can kind of see where where school districts are landing in that kind of regard, too. So, it really is kind of interesting to use that as a resource. Um, and, you know, then of course, Mrs. Doson and I we were that was like in November we went to the was it the KPA conference and we >> we were able to sit around a group of of other educators and again we were
080talking curriculum we're talking about what other >> what other schools are using and you know you just hear the good the bad of other curriculums and so she's writing notes and then scratching others off her list and you know we're able to narrow it down but it really is it's it's uh I I really appreciate the effort uh that I feel like the state's doing to provide this uh the data and the resources, you know, talking about the just the high quality instructional materials and being able to help us with this type of a process to, you know, just simply knock off the ones off the list that we probably shouldn't be paying any time and energy to. You know, let's let's just get to the ones that seem to be working and working the
081biggest results in the classroom. So, >> okay. Thank you, Miss Look for a motion. There's no other questions. A >> motion. >> Thanks, Christine. >> A second. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> Motion carries. And thanks to all those teachers for for all their work. All right. All right. Number 16, the hot topic. >> Oh, yes. Okay. So, obviously this this probably just going to be an agenda item for a while until we, you know, approve that policy whenever that day comes. We'll we'll keep working on that. And and I don't mean to um sound like a broken record, but you know, again, just we as a district will need to create our policy. I I know KESB has already released, you know, some information as far as their
082guidance as maybe what that what that should look like, but again, it's still going to be up to us to decide, you know, how we're going to implement and enforce the no cell phone, you know, policy, you know, that becomes a law July 1. The other piece of that uh if you were following that, the other piece of that law is that not only of course enforcing students not being able to have their cell phones, but there's also this piece where we will need to have uh control or just a better control over the communication that happens between uh school personnel and students. Uh so for instance like right now and what's we've had for quite some time you know we've got coaches and and class sponsors you know we've got a number of our
083our teachers who are in charge of these teams and groups and organizations and they are they're using apps like you know group me app or they're using um uh just large chat group chats and they're you know they're communicating through those um through this law that's that's no longer. Um, now we still need to communicate. We still need to be able to, you know, have communication, you know, in conversations with with these guys, with our kids and stuff, but we've got to change that practice. Uh, we just can't simply just have large group text threads going out there and not being able to manage that. So, Mr. Wyinners and I, we've already started the process. Uh, in fact, let me just pull pull this up here real quick. We have started the process of just,
084you know, doing the research and looking to see, you know, what what's out there in terms of online tools and programs that allow us to meet uh the needs of of this law. So, APTPy, that might be a term that you're sounding familiar. Aptagy is the new uh software um platform that our new district web page is now through APT when we just adopted our new district web page. So that's that's maybe where you've you've heard that. And then there's also called what's parent square. Uh so Tom Mr. Wyers I'm looking over what what's the these this is just the what's the technical term I'm looking for for these these programs? It's just the communication. It's a communication tool, but it's a secure platform. Y >> and it also puts us in control of what
085the messages are. So, um, one thing that if if a sponsor is having a group chat, we don't know what's being said and we can go to that sponsor and say, "We need to see the conversation between you and your athletes or or students or whatever and things can get deleted and whatever." Through this through these platforms, all the messaging will go through there. So, not only will we be able to see what's not their watch, but if something gets flagged, if something inappropriate is being said or something that looks like it might cause bodily harm or anything like that, one example they gave was if a sponsor and a student are talking on our platform and the sponsor says, "Well, let's continue this on Snapchat." We're going to get flagged. And they can't do
086that. You know, that's not a safe a safe place to to have those conversations. And so, um, it's just it's according to the law, that's what it's going to have to be is a place where we have control, not dictating what they say, but have control over where those conversations are being had. >> So, the coaches will have access to that, but you'll be able to see everything that's going on inside there. Correct. >> Yep. Yep. So, yes, it's it still allows our coaches and teachers, sponsors, all that to have that opportunity to communicate like they need to. We just have that ability to to always go back and track it and see it and that that >> which honestly is good for everybody. I mean it's good for the it's good for the staff
087and for and for the students. >> Absolutely. >> Everybody I mean everybody's protected this way. >> Will that be through that same app the school app or will there be a separate >> Okay. So great question. So back in April, as we mentioned we Mr. winners and I had heard that the aptagy and what they think aptagy calls is called rooms and parent square. We were hearing that those were the most popular two that you would hear you know out there. Uh so Mr. Winter Eyes we Mr. Winter we we jumped in there and we started you know reaching out and um AptG as you can see they wanted to give us a uh subscription and a one-time development a subscription of 5000 a onetime development cost of another 5,900. So, we were looking in
088the ballpark of 10,000, just under the ballpark, $9,000. >> Parent Square, they came out and said, "Well, we'll we'll provide you what you need for 3,000 with $500 onetime onboarding." So, the and was said for a total cost of 3500. So, clearly right away, Mr. Wyers and I looked at each other and were like, "Well, this is a no-brainer." Like, here we go. So, we we were moving in the direction of Parent Square and we were all of our communication was going with them. Well, of course then our our contacts with Apagy, they they were not uh they weren't going to let us get away that easy. They kept reaching out and I I sent them a nice professional email that just says, "We thank you for your time and energy, but >> and your
089overpriced quote >> we're moving in a different direction." >> Yeah. >> Well, Mr. Wyinners, am I describing that all right? Yes. So, so then on May 1st, uh, our our contacts through API, they they came back and they said, "Okay, we just I just was point blank. I said, "Guys, here's the here's what we're being offered through the other company." They just said, "We'll match it. We want you guys." And and a lot of that conversation was they understood we were already a client with them through our district web page. They very much honored that. They wanted to keep us as a client, you know, with that, which I never one time said anything about, well, >> I'm gonna I'm ditching you forever. I mean, that it just was like, well, I guess we'll get
090our district web page through them and we'll we'll get this other piece through Parent Square. We'll play that game, you know. >> Um, >> because Parent Square does websites, too, by the way. I mean, >> Yeah. Yeah. So, um, so, so they came back and they said, "Okay, we're gonna match." So, uh, Mr. winners and I we were we were kind of teasing each other about like we we did such a good job with the wheeling and dealing and you know we we we got them down quite a bit. So we are back in communication with with Aptagy now. Now I um they want to offer a um what they would like to do is they would like to offer it go in a three-year contract and I think eventually you know build back up
091to that cost. I made note of that. My my thought is is I'm going to tell him like I'm if you're willing to match at the 3500 for one year, I think I just I go for a year and we see >> we see how this plays out and then we'll >> we'll come back to the table again next year is the way I see it. I just I don't necessarily want to get us in a >> three-year commit. I I feel fine about getting in three-year commitments for curriculum. You know, three-ear commitments with things like this. I guess I'm just I was >> I don't remember what the contract was for the website and all that. That was a >> um >> Is that a >> I don't remember the numbers. >> I mean
092I mean like a multi-year >> Yeah, we did do a threeear. >> Yes, >> it would be nice. The fact that they're combined together, but yeah, if they'd stay the same price for three years would be >> Yeah. >> And maybe if you do the tell them that they will. Yeah, if they'll lock that price in for three years, then that's >> But if they're going to Yeah. continue to like sneak it back, you know, >> we're working out. >> Yeah. One year trial. >> Like, sure, we'll give it to you for this, but then after three years, like, you're back to what? >> Right. And I I guess >> to me, I think that's just the >> Yeah, >> that's just the game I play. That's just the nature of it. And then I'll
093>> and I've >> I mean I've I I know districts use both and and I know some of them switched back and forth and but I've never heard anything that's like just horrible about one or the other. They kind of do the same thing really. >> That's probably what they don't want you to see is >> and I've used one app of another >> I've used parent square but I've but I've never used the the rooms but >> my sister-in-law was telling me about parent square. she they live in Hastings and she's but she really likes it. But yeah, I mean if they're similar >> most and most districts have I mean this was the direction that everybody was kind of going anyway, which was probably something we were going to get to anyway because
094>> uh it's just I mean it's just a way better practice >> for everybody involved. And that's the so the the other challenge um with this is that you know the law goes into effect July 1 and where that might be okay. You know we might be thinking okay well we have some time to get this figured out you know before school next year. However, >> summer, >> we got summer teams and we got coaches that are doing things over the summer and we really need to we need to move on this and we need to >> do what we can to try to provide our our coaches the opportunity to put this in practice, you know, before that July one day hits. I mean, I don't I don't want to put >> coaches and
095and students in a position that, you know, we're we're kind of just riding that line until until then. you know, it's and you know, we're going to have to um you know, we're going to have some time to to communicate and get some training, a little bit of training at least, you know, so that they the the students or the athletes and coaches have known what what it's going to entail and what that's going to look like. So, >> you know, to adjust >> July one just just as I'm sitting here and talking about graduation, it's July one's >> it's not very far away. >> It's right around the corner. >> Mr. winners. Anything to add to that conversation or anything? >> I don't think so. I think I'd be comfortable with either one. I'm
096kind of leaning towards APG because that's our website company. >> Nice to have everything in one basket, but I'd be comfortable with either one. And also, you know, >> if G ends up being not the ideal platform for us, then >> yeah, >> do a one-year deal and switch to which I know means training and all that again. But >> yeah, I don't think >> we has to do one or we have to do not one or the other here when we have to do something like this. That's not a >> Yeah. >> A maybe that's a have to. So >> yeah, >> but it's fun to wheel and deal with them, >> right? >> Is it when I outdo you? >> Yeah. >> What was it? He he sent me an email or something
097said like, "Oh, I I bought the truck. I I wheeled a new bought the truck and then after my conversation I said, "Oh, well, I got the truck and the boat in the camper." So, we were having fun with it. >> I had a question about just this whole policy overall, not just that. Um like the students aren't going to be able to have their cell phones but is that staff teachers also like included like they're not able to have like during class time things like that. Well, know that >> because I know that there's been some issues with that even with >> sometimes students asking questions and the teacher being on their phone kind of ignoring. >> Well, the no the staff will still have access to theirs and you know that of course
098we also we have that that new E3 emergency app that's that's on their phones. I mean so that's a communication tool that we're using for all of our crisis drills. So they'll still have access to those. um you know that I think with with what you're referring to I mean we we clearly you know we'll just need to have some conversation and some guidelines as to obviously those type of things don't need to be happening in the in the classroom but >> I'm sure kids will be pointing it out now >> well and that's a good point you bring up because I've heard quite some time ago not just because of this that some teachers and >> turn on an assignment that goes on the screen and then they're on their the whole time. >>
099I mean, is that real teaching? I mean, that's that's my concern >> that we have to have >> reminded the instructors or teachers that, hey, you know, we need to try to set the example for this. >> We're going to move on with that. >> I agree. I agree. Those are >> those are conversations that >> would it just bother me if Yeah. students are coming up to ask a question and they're being ignored because the teacher is on their phone and the student has to walk away without an answer. That's not >> not okay because I mean that's their grade. They're taking it seriously and then not getting the help or even acknowledgement. That's pretty sad. Well, and you know, we uh I don't know, like I said, then we then we are incorporate
100a practice where we're putting things like E3 or asking teachers to put the E3 app on their phone so that we have that for communication piece during that time, you know. I mean, um, you we'll I think it's definitely a that'll be a conversation that I'll have with the building principles that as we're going through and we're we're creating that policy that to meet the standards of this the new bill, the law, we we can also have those conversations too is about how we can >> I can't remember where I seen it. It was somewhere was an article talking about how >> somewhere I seen an article the other day about how a whole community was trying to >> work together to kind of be an example to the kids and >> they're trying to
101get the parents to if your kids are around keep your phones away. >> Yeah. >> Different stuff. They said it's kind of making a whole community. >> Yeah. >> To get the kids used to >> difference. Yeah. >> Keep the devices away when you're >> Yep. >> Well, this you know it's it's gonna it's going to change how things look for sure. You know, I mean, it's we'll we'll have to we'll go through some I'm sure some go through some growing pains. >> Brings just more focus to the school. >> Yeah. >> Less distraction. >> Yep. For sure. >> Is this uh something we need to vote on to get that other going right away? >> Uh anything for that? >> I don't not not tonight. >> I don't know how soon you had to
102get that. >> Yeah. I mean, we'll I wanted to definitely bring it to your guys' attention and just guide you and let you know where we're going with in the direction of what we're doing. Um, I don't know if >> it's actually within >> It's within his discretion for spending to enter into that contract. If it was, >> you know, five years or something, then it would be over that amount. So, >> July 1. >> It's just mainly just to make sure everybody was aware of what they were researching. >> Gotcha. and make sure if everybody was okay with what they're researching, then they'll just keep moving forward with that. >> Yeah. Yeah. You guys So, yes. With that being said, you comfortable with that and >> keep talking them down. >> You're doing great.
103I will keep a couple more. >> You're close enough. >> Like I said, I think the big thing is it's probably something it just wasn't on our radar, but it was probably something that we >> uh needed to do anyway just for everybody involved. It's just a it's just a way better uh process and >> Well, it's safer for everybody and >> Yeah. And >> so is it basically like an app that they would download to their phone then? So which is >> yeah and they would also Yes. It would it to be an extension >> there's a web there's a web based version and then there's also the app too. you get >> like with parent square >> uh anytime somebody sends me a message I get an email too >> uh and then
104the email will link to the will open >> uh the parent square >> website and then I can see all the conversations that are going on and you can look at I think there's some calendar stuff in there too on parent square a little bit but anyway I get an email anytime there's a something added or anytime I'm included in something. Uh so you kind of get all that different notifications. >> Okay, we'll carry on. >> All right, so we'll move on to How much time do you think we need? I'll be fast. I think we can go 10. >> Okay. >> I think we need a 10. >> Challenge accepted. >> Don doesn't think. >> I know. >> You make sure something. >> No extensions. >> Do I get a head start to get
